I am a fully qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and couples therapist. I hold a first-class honours BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from PCI College and lecture part-time with them on their counselling and psychotherapy degree programme. I am a fully accredited psychotherapist and supervisor with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and adhere to its ethical guidelines.
With twenty-plus years of experience in the field of mindfulness and personal development, I have an integrative style of counselling with a person-centred approach at its core. I call on a wide range of techniques such as CBT, Gestalt, Mindfulness and Solution Focused Brief Therapy to work with whatever a client may bring to a session. I endeavour to create a safe, supportive and confidential space for each person to explore their personal challenges at their own pace.
I have experience working with both individuals and couples, encompassing couples of all sexual orientations, on a wide range of issues including (but not limited to) anxiety and depression, addiction, anger management, low self-esteem, bereavement, sexuality, sexual abuse, addiction, intimacy and relationship issues, sports injuries, work-related issues and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
I am located right in the heart of Dublin city centre on Exchequer Street. The cost per session is €90 for individuals and €120 for couples. Counselling can be done in person or online.
Couples Therapy
“They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake” Alexander Pope
Relationships can be really hard. Sometimes we need a little bit of help. In couples therapy, we create a safe, compassionate space for both partners to truly see and hear one another. Drawing from a humanistic, emotion-focused, and Gestalt perspective, we focus on authentic contact and connection—becoming more aware of your emotions, needs, and patterns in the present moment and within the broader relationship dynamic. Rather than assigning blame, we explore how you each contribute to the patterns of interactions between you, and how greater awareness can open paths to empathy, connection, and choice. The aim isn’t perfection. More like good enough. A relationship which is more alive, free, intentional and grounded in honesty and mutual respect.
