I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. At the core of my work is curiosity and openness, creating a non-judgmental listening space. I believe therapy works best when it is rooted in a strong relationship. My focus is to truly get to know you. And my role in your healing is to offer an empathetic environment for you to explore your feelings and challenges.
Some clients come to therapy knowing what issues to address and with specific goals. Others are not so sure. I work with you in your help seeking process. Areas of difficulty that I support clients with are: Anger; Anxiety; Family Issues; Grief and Loss; Personal Development; Relationship Difficulties; Self-compassion; Sexuality; Stress Management.
My philosophy is to support you in exploring your inner strength and wisdom, and in removing obstacles to growth. In the work, I stay attuned to the present here-and-now, with an intentional focus on what arises in our time together. This can lead to exploration of past traumas and relationships. We gently navigate through these experiences and how your past may be influencing your present.
My practice is integrative, which means I take a humanistic and holistic approach. I draw on different methods of psychotherapy depending on what you need, including: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Body-oriented Psychotherapy; Gestalt; Humanistic; Internal Family Systems; Person Centred; Psychodynamic; Psychosexual.
I am a pre-accredited member of the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP). To ensure my practice is informed and ethical, I engage in regular clinical supervision and continuous professional development. I also have a professional background working as a strategic marketing consultant for over 25 years, advising professional services firms and organisations operating in the business-to-business sector.
