About Me

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist based in Dublin. I work with you on abuse, addiction, mood disorders and family issues. I offer counselling, Jungian analysis, psychoanalysis and community psychology to guide your recovery.

Approach

Drawing on clinical and analytic traditions, my work creates a steady, curious space where we explore patterns, meanings and practical choices together. I offer sessions in Dublin and online, in English or Portuguese, paced to your needs with a balance of focused dialogue, reflective material between meetings, and attention to relationships and inner imagery. We track small shifts in thinking and behaviour while attending to deeper emotional currents.
