About Me

I am an accredited psychotherapist and clinical supervisor based in Kenmare and Tralee, Co. Kerry, Ireland. I provide confidential, practical therapy and clinical supervision to help you with personal development and life transitions.

Approach

Based in Kerry and online, my work centres on small, manageable shifts that build clearer choices over time. Sessions are steady-paced and collaborative: we set practical goals, reflect on moments between meetings and try out new ways of responding so learning becomes lived, not just talked about. Supervision is similarly grounded — focused on case clarity, ethical thinking and layered support for your own professional growth. People navigating change or seeking steady development tend to find this approach useful.
