I completed a four-year training in psychotherapy and counselling at Dublin Counselling and Therapy Centre, earning a Higher Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am accredited by the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP), and I adhere strictly to their Code of Ethics.
My passion lies in supporting individuals to regain a sense of empowerment and control over their lives. As a qualified mindfulness practitioner, I integrate mindfulness techniques into my counselling work when appropriate. This approach has proven effective for clients seeking to overcome anxiety and panic attacks. Creating a safe and accepting environment is of utmost importance to me. I prioritise providing a comfortable space where clients can work through their difficulties at their own pace. In my practice, I draw from humanistic, person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural (CBT) approaches, tailoring my therapeutic approach to the unique needs of each individual. |

I chose Koru as a symbol of my practice
|
The Koru is a spiral shape based on the appearance of a new unfurling fern frond. It symbolises growth and new life.

|
The spiral shape represents the winding journey inward that we must take if we are to truly know and love ourselves. From that journey we return with more power and wisdom.

My Therapeutic Approach
Humanistic Psychotherapy
Humanistic Therapy is a client-centered approach that focuses on your personal growth, self-discovery, and reaching your full potential. It creates a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, values, and aspirations without judgment. This therapy encourages you to embrace your uniqueness, express yourself authentically, and find meaning in your life. With Humanistic Therapy, you'll gain self-confidence, make positive choices, and live a more fulfilling and authentic life.
CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a transformative therapy that empowers you to take control of your thoughts and emotions, leading to positive changes in your life. By uncovering and challenging negative thinking patterns, CBT helps you overcome obstacles, reduce stress, and achieve mental well-being. It equips you with practical tools and strategies to break free from old patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving. With CBT, you'll gain a deep understanding of yourself, build resilience, and unlock your full potential. It's an opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and creating a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
Choice Theory and Reality Therapy
Choice Theory and Reality Therapy are approaches that emphasize personal responsibility and making positive changes in your life. They believe that everyone has the power to make choices and meet their needs. Reality Therapy focuses on taking action and solving problems to improve your life. It helps you become aware of your behaviours and relationships, and develop new strategies to meet your needs and achieve your goals. These approaches empower you to take control of your life and create positive change.
Therapeutic Use of Mindfulness
By practicing mindfulness, you can learn to fully engage with the present moment, and manage anxious thoughts and feelings. This therapy empowers you to develop a compassionate approach towards your anxiety, allowing you to observe and understand it without getting overwhelmed. Through mindfulness, you'll gain greater self-awareness, learn effective coping strategies, and experience a deep sense of relaxation and resilience.
The Gottman Method Couples Therapy
The Gottman Method Couples Therapy offers an approach to rebuild and enhance your relationship. Backed by extensive research and practical techniques, this therapy focuses on fostering emotional connection, improving communication, and resolving conflicts effectively. Gain valuable insights, practical skills, and a roadmap for a happier, more fulfilling relationship.

How does the first session look like?
The first session is an opportunity to discuss what brings you here, what you'd like to get out of our sessions and what areas of your life you'd like to work on. Every person is unique and requires individual approach. During our session we will have a chance to explore what could work best for you.
I have private insurance. Can I use it to cover the cost of the sessions?
It depends on the insurance plan that you have. The best is to contact your insurer and ask if your plan covers counselling or psychotherapy.
How often do I need to attend sessions?
Attending your sessions weekly is a good practice and helps to bring best results. We can discuss it further during the first session.
