Choosing a counsellor is a personal decision. Here is my background, how I work and what you can expect from me.
I'm a fully qualified and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, in independent practice since 2010. I start by listening to what is happening in your life, what has shaped your experience and what you want help with.
An early interest in cognitive behavioural therapy led me towards counselling. Understanding people and the experiences that shape them remains central to my work.
I respect the trust it takes to talk about difficult parts of your life. I listen without judgement and help you explore your experiences, understand your responses and identify the resources you can draw on.
I completed honours degree training in counselling and psychotherapy at the Irish College of Humanities and Applied Sciences (ICHAS). I am fully insured and Garda vetted.
I am a member of the Association of Professional Counsellors and Psychotherapists (APCP).
Before setting up my practice, I worked at Saoirse Treatment Centre in Limerick city and Merchants Quay Homelessness and Addiction Services in Co. Laois.
My experience includes supporting people with anxiety and panic, low mood, addiction and recovery, bereavement, loneliness, difficult past experiences, relationships, confidence and life changes. I also have a particular interest in supporting teenagers and young people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
I work with you openly, respectfully and within clear professional boundaries. We discuss what you need from counselling, any concerns about starting and what will help you feel comfortable.
Your perspective guides our work. We choose approaches that fit your needs and review how the sessions are working for you.
We focus on what matters to you. That might mean understanding a reaction, expressing a feeling, recognising a pattern or finding a more useful response to a difficult situation.
Ask about my experience, how I work, fees or practical arrangements. Get the information you need before deciding whether to begin.
