Counselling in Navan

I'm deeply passionate about counselling and psychotherapy, which fuels my mission to help individuals grow, heal, and develop. I customize therapy to each person's unique needs, drawing from various techniques such as CBT and existential therapy. My approach is rooted in the humanistic tradition, creating a safe, non-judgemental space filled with warmth and authenticity. Whether online or in person at the Tara Open Studio, I'm here to assist with a wide range of mental health issues, from anxiety to work-related stress, trauma, grief and more. Together, we'll work compassionately to help you live your life to its fullest potential.

I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a first-class honours degree. I am a pre Accredited Member of the IACP and work in accordance with the IACP code of ethics and Children First guidelines. I provide one to one counselling and psychotherapy to any individual aged 18 and over. I have extensive experience in the field of mental health. Depending on the reasons you have sought counselling, I will work with you to prioritise where the focus of our sessions will be. This may involve working through past traumas, learning new coping strategies to help relieve anxiety or stress, or goal setting for the future.

I am an experienced, accredited Psychotherapist in private practice since 2011. My focus is seeing the person as unfolding at different stages along life's journey. Sometimes along the way we can be knocked sideways. Failure ,loss ,abuse, relationship issues or bad choices can leave us experiencing stress, loss ,anxiety and depression . Early intervention is essential and my role as psychotherapist is to listen and enable you to gain insight. Any issue when talked about and explored in a supportive non judgemental therapeutic relationship where you are understood and supported will bring about positive change.

I am well aware that life can be a struggle when trying to deal with anxiety, depression, profound sadness, grief, relationship issues, emotional upheavals, stress, long standing hurt or deeply embedded trauma. Sometimes it’s about self exploration. I offer a warm, safe, welcoming and non judgmental space where clients can come and examine how they see themselves in their world; explore unhelpful behavioral patterns and look at how they are in relationship to others and themselves. At all times in the Counselling space, I work from my heart; from a place of compassion and love, with genuine acceptance of the client just as they are

I have been Counselling couples and individuals since 2000 and clients have given feedback that they find my approach warm and friendly. I meet you where you’re at emotionally and help you to find the resources within yourself to move out of whatever “stuckness” you may be feelin.

I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy with clients wishing to explore a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger issues, self-esteem, meaning in life, bereavement, personal development, childhood trauma, suicide intervention.

Are you feeling gripped by anxiety, stress or depression, over thinking things, experiencing flashbacks or panic attacks or just not feeling yourself and not sure why? If so I am here to help you. I offer a friendly, safe and non judgemental space for you to talk openly and explore those things which are affecting you. I will help you to identify and understand why situations keep occurring in your life. I believe when we are truly heard and held in a safe environment we can improve our mental health as well as have a greater understanding of how to deal with future challenges. I work with adults, couples and young people.

Adolescent’s 12+ years / Adults. I am an integrative counselling psychotherapist who specialises in adult and adolescent psychotherapy from age of 12+ years. I work with people who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, anxiety, stress, work, relationship or family problems, transitioning from childhood to adolescence amongst other issues. I am a menopause wellness practitioner, helping women navigate the issues surrounding menopause. Working integratively means that I use a number of approaches, including CBT and Person-Centred. People are unique and need different approaches depending on what issues they want to address

Clients come to counselling when their normal coping mechanisms are no longer working for them and they are feeling overwhelmed, confused and afraid. It may be due to anxiety in their life, stress in work or relationships, low self esteem or depression. They come looking for clarity, a sense of understanding that they are not alone in what they are feeling and perhaps for practical techniques to manage the conflicting emotions. They also want to be really listened to and not to be judged as they tell their story.

As and Integrative psychotherapist of 20 years experience and a Clinical Supervisor, I draw from a variety of approaches from my ‘‘therapeutic toolbox’’, including Hypnotherapy, Family Constellations, Psychosomatic Bodywork, Pre and Perinatal Psychology, Creative Expressive Arts and Trauma Recovery. The focus of my work is to empower you to gain awareness, new perspectives and see patterns and issues in a fresh light, so you may begin to experience real change and break habits, patterns, trauma and fears so that you can move forward to live a more authentic, peaceful life and move towards fulfilling your innate potential.

Reaching out and asking for help can be daunting, and I fully understand this. Sometimes we feel we can manage ourselves, yet, the issue never seems to go away. Sleepless nights, constant worrying and feeling nobody understands you only adds to existing concerns. My aim is to provide a safe and confidental space were you can explore any issues that may be affecting how you live your life day to day.
