About Me
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are never alone. With two decades of experience, I work with individuals facing diverse mental health challenges. These include anxiety, depression, addiction, and low self-esteem. Together, we will explore your experiences, helping you gain clarity and find your path forward. This supportive partnership is ideal for anyone seeking an experienced psychotherapist to navigate their unique struggles.
Approach
We focus on small, practical shifts—mapping patterns and naming moments so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming. Sessions in Cork or online in English are paced to your needs: a mix of focused reflection, practical planning and gentle experimentation, with occasional short tasks between sessions to try new ways of relating to thoughts and urges. I listen for patterns around anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviour, and help you build clearer choices. This way of working suits adults seeking steady, collaborative change.
