I became a Psychotherapist because I am passionate about supporting people to live fulfilling lives that work well for them.
I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, the core of my practice is learning to trust yourself and make decisions that empower your life.
I offer Adult Counselling in Portlaoise and Online, by Appointment.
My approach is not "one size fits all"; rather, it is tailored to each individual's needs.
Our therapy sessions will be a collaborative effort. It's a non-judgmental, accepting, calm, and predictable space where you can freely express yourself. In this safe environment, you can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and experiences. Laughter and tears are all welcome – we'll work through them together.
Among the areas I'm interested in (but don't limit myself to) are:
Our therapy sessions are personalised to fit your individual needs and aspirations. Together, we foster an environment of openness, trust, and honesty to support you in overcoming challenges and enhancing your overall well-being.
Our online therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive environment to meet from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an active, goal-driven approach that focuses on addressing current issues without needing to explore the past. It's a collaborative process designed to equip you with practical tools to manage challenges and reach your goals.
Mindfulness-based therapy focuses on cultivating present-moment awareness and acceptance, helping individuals manage strong emotions by observing thoughts and feelings without judgment. This therapeutic approach fosters emotional regulation and mental well-being.
We are so conditioned to let the mind lead, to think our way through everything, but the body holds a wisdom that runs deeper than thought. It encourages individuals to connect with their mind-body relationship, become more aware of physical sensations and emotions. This process helps release accumulated tension and process overwhelming experiences or trauma. Through gentle guidance, body therapy seeks to promote balance and enhance overall well-being.
In therapy, I support clients who identify as LGBTQ+ and beyond, recognising that everyone's experiences with gender, sexuality, and relationships are unique and valid. Exploring these aspects can be a crucial part of your therapeutic journey. You are welcome here, no matter your identity.
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships impact emotional and psychological development. Grounded in attachment theory, it highlights the need for a secure, trusting client-therapist relationship to address issues like relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. Present attachment can improve early attachment patterns, and support healthier relationships and coping skills.
Trauma-focused therapy supports individuals in recovering from the psychological and emotional effects of difficult life experiences, which we call trauma.
It helps individuals process traumatic memories such as PTSD, regulating their emotions, and developing their unique coping skills.
Counselling for existential concerns explores questions about the nature, meaning, and purpose of existence to help individuals discover their own sense of meaning and lead more fulfilling lives. If you’ve been reflecting on your purpose, meaning, or value and wish to integrate these aspects more deeply into your life, this approach provides a safe and supportive environment to explore these important questions together.
