Counselling Online for Your Concerns
Helping People Remember Their Wholeness
I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including (but not limited to):
- Men & masculinity
- LGBTQ+/GSRD
- Trauma & difficult life experiences
- Psychedelic experiences & integration
- Anxiety, stress & burnout
- Relationships, attachment & boundaries
- Life transitions, identity & meaning
I also work with grief, depression, self-esteem, family dynamics and many other concerns that can arise at different points in life.
Therapy is not about fitting you into a particular approach. Instead, we work collaboratively to understand what you are experiencing and find ways of working that feel meaningful, supportive and appropriate for you. I aim to create a space where there is room to explore not only what you are struggling with, but also what may be asking to emerge, change or be better understood.
My Experience
For much of my professional life, I’ve worked alongside people navigating difficult, complex and sometimes marginalised circumstances.
I bring over 16 years of experience in community development and social care, including frontline and senior roles within non-profit organisations. My work has involved supporting individuals, families, young people and marginalised communities across areas including mental health, LGBT+ services, homelessness, youth work and social services.
These experiences have shaped the way I work as a psychotherapist - grounded, compassionate and attentive to the wider contexts that influence our lives.
I work integratively, drawing on different therapeutic approaches and adapting my approach to what feels most supportive and relevant to you.
APPROACHES TO THERAPY
Therapy That Meets You
Our one-to-one sessions are tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. Together, we create a space where you can explore your experiences openly, at your pace.
I’m here to support you as you navigate challenges, build resilience, and nurture a greater sense of clarity in your life.
Online Counselling
I provide online therapy across Ireland and Europe, providing a secure and confidential space to speak openly from wherever you are.
While online therapy is different from meeting in person, it can still offer a meaningful space for connection, reflection and therapeutic work, with the added flexibility of meeting from your own space.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a practical and supportive approach that helps you work through the challenges you may be facing. In our sessions, we’ll explore the ways your thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and behaviours interact, and we’ll work together on strategies that bring meaningful change to your everyday life, which can help you feel more empowered with goals that matter most to you.
Mindfulness-Based Approach
Mindfulness-based approaches cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance, supporting individuals to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without judgment.
By developing this capacity for mindful attention, people can respond to difficult emotions with greater clarity and ease. This practice strengthens emotional regulation, slows thinking and supports well-being.
It involves being receptive to current experiences, thoughts, and sensations without trying to control or suppress them.
Body Psychotherapy
We often try to understand our difficulties through thinking alone, yet the body holds its own wisdom. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-focused approach that brings gentle awareness to the connection between body, emotions, thoughts and behaviour.
By noticing physical sensations, impulses, patterns of tension and nervous-system responses, we can begin to understand ourselves in a more embodied way.
Gender, Sexuality, Relationship Diversity (GSRD)
I offer an affirming space for clients whose identities or relationships fall within the spectrum of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD). I recognise that everyone’s experience of identity, relationships, belonging and self-expression is unique.
For LGBTQ+ clients, therapy can offer a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, belonging, and the challenges and possibilities that come with living true to you.
You are welcome here, exactly as you are.
Attachment-Based
Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape emotional and psychological development. Rooted in attachment theory, it emphasises the importance of a secure, trusting relationship between client and therapist as a foundation for healing.
By creating a safe relational space in the present, attachment-based therapy can help repair earlier attachment wounds and foster more resilient ways of relating to oneself and others.
Trauma Focused Therapy
Trauma-focused therapy supports individuals in healing from the emotional and psychological impact of difficult or overwhelming life experiences.
It offers a space to process traumatic memories, including symptoms related to PTSD, while learning to regulate emotions and build personal coping resources. This approach helps people move toward greater resilience, stability, and empowerment in their lives.
Existential Therapy
Existential Therapy
Counselling for existential concerns supports individuals in exploring deeper questions about meaning, purpose, identity, and what it means to live a fulfilling life. Whether someone is reflecting on their values, life direction, or sense of purpose, this approach offers a compassionate and supportive space to explore these themes.
Together, we look at how these insights can be integrated into daily life, helping to create a greater sense of authenticity, meaning, and choice.
