In therapy I aim to provide a person with a safe and secure space in which they can express themselves without judgement. 

As an integratively trained counselling psychologist I practice therapy through an Existential-Humanistic-Psychodynamic approach which places the client at the centre of therapeutic change. I use the common therapeutic factors of empathy, the genuine presence of the therapist, and the client-therapist therapeutic relationship to help clients to help themselves. It is through working together on a person's problems that change can take place.

I specialise in working with people who have experienced trauma in their lives from childhood abuse through to the loss and grief of bereavement. I have experience working with people who struggle with a sense of self-identity and emotional instability. I help people to regulate their emotions and find new ways of coping with seemingly overwhelming problems.

I also work with people who are finding it difficult to cope with depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts or behaviours, difficult relationships, and stress. 

I have training and expertise in: Emotion Focused Therapy; Process-Experiential Humanistic Therapy; Psychodynamic Therapy; Existential Therapy; and Body-Awareness and Trauma Therapy.

I endeavor to practice therapy with respect, integrity, professional competency and confidentiality in keeping with the ethical guidelines as laid down by the Psychological Society of Ireland.
