I am a qualified psychotherapist with a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling. After completing a 4-year undergraduate degree in Psychology, I gained valuable practical experience through placements in South Dublin. This experience allowed me to work with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate a range of challenges.
I believe in the power of an integrative approach, which enables me to tailor therapy to individual needs. This flexibility allows me to draw on various evidence-based techniques, including body-based approaches such as Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, as well as solution-focused and person-centred approaches, to create personalised treatment plans.
I have a particular interest in neurodiversity, and I am passionate about providing specialised support to neurodiverse individuals. Whether you’re seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply looking to enhance your well-being, I am here to offer a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
I bring years of experience and a range of therapeutic tools, but our work will always be guided by your insights and needs. We’ll collaborate to find the most effective ways to support your mental health and personal development.
Body-centered psychotherapy focuses on the mind-body connection. By exploring physical sensations, emotions, and movement patterns, we can gain valuable insights into underlying emotional issues. This approach can be particularly helpful for individuals who struggle to express their emotions verbally or who experience somatic symptoms.
Integrative psychotherapy is a flexible and adaptable approach that draws on various therapeutic techniques. This allows for a tailored treatment plan that addresses individual needs. By combining different therapeutic modalities, such as Somatic Experiencing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, as well as solution-focused and person-centered approaches, I can provide comprehensive support for a wide range of mental health concerns.
Person-centered therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasizes the client's inherent capacity for self-understanding and growth. This approach provides a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By fostering a genuine and empathetic therapeutic relationship, I can help clients develop self-awareness, build self-esteem, and make positive changes in their lives.
My role is to offer professional knowledge and guidance, always with an open mind to your unique perspective.
Together, we’ll create a therapeutic journey tailored to your individual needs, fostering growth, understanding, and self-acceptance.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I use a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to your individual needs. With a diverse set of techniques at my disposal, I can find methods that work best for you. Our work together is collaborative, recognising that you are the expert on your own experiences. If one approach doesn’t resonate, I’ll explore others with you until we find what suits you best.
Sometimes, emotions are difficult to express in words. My body-based therapies offer an alternative way to explore feelings for both neurodiverse and neurotypical individuals. These approaches can help when emotions are hard to describe verbally, providing a more comprehensive path to emotional well-being.
I understand that everyone processes information differently. My sessions adapt to your needs, offering extended time for deeper exploration when necessary. Through online therapy, you can engage from an environment where you feel most comfortable. This approach eliminates the stress of commuting and allows you to fully focus on your therapeutic process.
I have completed a primary, four-year course in Psychology at the National College of Ireland. During my time at the college, I was awarded the Dean’s Award for Academic Achievement, and my final project won at the All Ireland Psychology Student Congress 2020.
I have completed over 200 hours of placement, gaining clinical experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, in a variety of cases and presenting problems. Having had the opportunity to provide low-cost therapy service to those who cannot afford to engage in therapy otherwise, I committed myself to continue to offer my time and expertise at a lower cost for a few spots each month as well as continue to engage in pro-bono work.
I graduated with Masters in Psychotherapy and Counselling (Integrative Modalities) from the Irish College of Humanities and Applied Sciences. This training allowed me to hone my theoretical and applied skills in the field of Psychotherapy. I have also followed my long-term interest in Neurodiversity in my studies, culminating in the preparation of my Masters Thesis: “Beyond Dimmed Lights: Neurodiverse Traits and Their Impact on Therapeutic Outcomes”.
Having chosen Integrative Modalities as my field of study, I have engaged in a variety of psychotherapeutic schools of thought. In this way, I have prepared my own, tailored yet flexible approach focusing on a humanistic, person-centred perspective, blended with the body-based approaches of somatic experiencing and sensorimotor psychotherapy, which help me adapt sessions to variety of needs and presentations.
