I draw from my experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including HSE adult, child and adolescent mental health services, as well as inpatient/outpatient paediatric neuropsychology settings. Prior to becoming a Clinical Psychologist, I also worked as a Social Care Worker in residential settings. I offer a kind, patient, and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring and addressing your current challenges or issues.
I provide 1:1 therapeutic support to adults, and I also provide systemic treatment for children/adolescents and families. I also provide treatments for individuals/families experiencing more specific difficulties/areas, such as Obsessive Compulsive Difficulties, Autism, issues related to parenting, child school refusal, and attachment-related issues.
It can feel strange or daunting to make contact with someone and to discuss your current issues or difficulties. Rest assured, these feelings are very normal, and I am happy to work at a pace that is comfortable for you.
