About Me
I offer a warm, integrative space where you can explore your experiences with curiosity and support. As an Integrative Psychotherapist, Creative Counsellor, and Play Therapist, I help you connect with your inner world. We can gently explore feelings through creative methods or ground ourselves with somatic techniques. My approach blends person-centred care with scientifically-supported tools, offering a holistic path to understanding and growth.
Approach
I guide sessions toward noticing connections between body sensations, stories and relationships, using playful creativity alongside practical skills so change feels manageable. I see people in Galway and online in English, keeping a calm, steady pace that suits adolescents, parents and adults. Sessions usually include brief skills practice, somatic grounding and creative tasks, with short psychoeducational notes and small experiments to try between meetings for anxiety, anger, relationship or transition challenges. Many find this collaborative, hands-on rhythm helpful when life feels stuck.
