The therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in co-creating safety, being able to deeply attend to the thoughts, feelings and sensations that are present, and to bringing forth transformation. It may take you several attempts beginning therapy before you find the therapist that is right for you.
I am a trauma-informed, online therapy certified, registered systemic psychotherapist with a background in social work and art. I have over twenty years combined experience. This experience includes working with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, fertility and relationship difficulties. While I am trained and have experience working with families and couples, these days I work directly with individuals and groups.
I work one-to-one with adults across the Republic of Ireland. All my sessions are online via a dedicated, confidential and trusted platform designed specifically for healthcare providers.
As a therapist I am warm, compassionate, direct and not afraid of meeting humour even in the depths of our shadows. I meet the client where they are at, working at a pace that feels right for the client. I believe people are experts in their own lives. Therefore, I seek to join my professional experience with the lived expertise of the client so together we can explore and attend to the challenges and celebrations brought to therapy.
I take my time and do not jump to conclusions or assumptions. I am an active therapist (I’m not going to sit there and silently nod at you, at least not all the time 😊). I am challenging when necessary and will ensure the conversation does not wander meaninglessly while holding space for gentle exploration, and for ideas and feelings to emerge organically.
I centre compassion, courage, curiosity, creativity, collaboration, authenticity and anti-oppressive practice in my work. Together with you, I will co-create a safe, warm and meaningful relationship within which the brightest and darkest of experiences can be held, and from which your own unique wisdom can emerge.
I embrace a holistic understanding of wellness. The relationship between our mind-body-spirit is personal, complex and full of beautiful potential. For this reason I embrace all aspects of the mind-body-spirit connection in my work with clients as appropriate.
I am privileged to work with people from all backgrounds. Please know you are safe and welcome to connect with me.
I don’t take myself too seriously but I do take the work seriously. As such I am deeply privileged to join with clients on this powerful journey of discovery and transformation.
I help people feel safe.
I help people feel seen.
I help people become curious about themselves, their lives and their relationships.
And I help people expand the definition of who they are and what might be possible for them.
If after taking a look at my website you decide I am not the right therapist for you, or for you at this time, please know this is still a win.
You may not have found the therapist you want to connect with, but through a process of elimination you will have figured out more about the type of therapist you do want to reach out to. This is all part of the process…
Keep going, the right therapist is out there waiting for your call!
