I am a fully accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) both in counselling and Supervision and work in complete accordance with their ethical guidelines www.iacp.ie

I work with adults on a one to one basis. I have extensive experience in the area of suicide and self-harm. I also have a huge amount of experience in the area of palliative care, bereavement and loss , I am in my final year in my Masters in loss and bereavement and have a keen interest in the area of childhood trauma and complicated grief.

I offer short term solution focused Counselling and long term Psychotherapy and Counselling Supervision. I use a variety of integrative approaches and will adapt which ever method is most appropriate to working with you.

I will listen to you and I will respect you. I will give you the space you need to explore your thoughts and move towards discovering a new you. And believe or not, we may even share some laughs along the way.
