About Me

As an IACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer a supportive space to explore your challenges. I am also completing an MA in CBT, allowing me to integrate practical tools into our work. We can collaborate to understand unhelpful patterns and build resilience. My approach provides a grounded way forward, ideal for clients seeking concrete strategies to navigate life's difficulties.

Approach

Rather than only talking about problems, I work with you to notice how thoughts, behaviours and bodily sensations keep difficulties going, then try small, practical changes together. In my Dublin therapy room or online in English, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace—employing CBT-informed exercises, gentle mindfulness and clear steps you can practice between meetings. We set achievable goals, review what works, and adjust as we go. This way suits adolescents, adults and couples who want structured, compassionate change.
