My Approach

I offer the opportunity to help you work out what is troubling you and to find a way forward. I have seen in my work that no matter what challenges are thrown at us, we have the capacity and the qualities to come through, to survive and then maybe even thrive given the right circumstances no matter how bleak our world feels in the moment. I work holistically, respecting you as an individual, with your unique experiences of life. You have thoughts and feelings which are important to you which need to be expressed. I offer space and time for you to hear yourself speak, to listen to yourself and to realise that your voice is important and has worth. If there are times when words are too difficult to express what your experience has been, I might gently suggest some creative ways of bringing some light into the darkness, always with your best interests at heart and mind. We could explore your dreams perhaps, or use materials to look more deeply at what is important to you and to find inner wisdom and guidance. We will review our work together regularly to make sure our sessions meet your needs, and I will provide you with a written contract and a GDPR statement at the outset which will be transparent and I hope will help you feel safe as we explore what has brought you to therapy at this point in your life.

About Me

I was born in Ireland and in my early twenties moved to the UK to complete my post-graduate studies. I had a variety of jobs to keep my options open and then settled into a career in bookselling. I quickly learned the importance of staff welfare and became passionate about supporting the people I worked with to overcome whatever challenges they faced in their personal lives and to develop their potential. This lead to my interest in training as a psychotherapist when I was made redundant. I like to think my experiences - fitting into another culture while retaining my identity, adapting to new environments, surviving set-backs, rethinking my assumptions and eventually learning to embrace change at each stage - all help me to accompany clients along their own unique and individual paths in life.
