About Me

I offer a supportive, confidential space where you can explore life's challenges. Together, we can use approaches like CBT and EMDR to find clarity and develop practical steps forward. Therapy is accessible nationwide via online and telephone sessions, including convenient lunchtime and evening appointments. This flexible approach is ideal if you seek professional, tailored support that fits easily into your busy life.

Approach

You’ll notice sessions move at a practical, steady pace—short goals, reflective moments and gentle skills practice that fit into busy days. Working from Stranorlar and supporting adults across Ireland in English, I offer secure video or phone meetings with lunchtime or evening slots to suit your schedule. We identify triggers, test small changes between sessions and use CBT-informed techniques alongside EMDR-informed grounding when past hurt shapes current stress, always matching tempo to your needs. This approach suits people juggling work, family or recovery who want clear, manageable steps.
