Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially when life has become overwhelming, stuck, confusing, or simply difficult to carry on your own. I aim to offer a space where people can arrive exactly as they are, without pressure to perform, explain everything perfectly, or have it all figured out.
I am an Integrative Counsellor, Art Psychotherapist, and licensed Homeopath working with adults, adolescents, and pre-teens. My approach is holistic, flexible, and shaped around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model of therapy. Feeling emotionally safe, comfortable, and genuinely met in the therapeutic relationship is always at the centre of my work.
I work in a person-centred way, meaning therapy moves at a pace that feels manageable and collaborative. I draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on each person’s needs, experiences, and the issues they are bringing. For some people, talking therapy feels enough. For others, words can feel difficult, overwhelming, or simply not the best way to express what is going on internally.
Where appropriate, I incorporate creative approaches such as art-making, clay, sand tray, imagery, and other expressive methods into sessions. This is never about being “good at art” or producing something polished. Creativity can offer another way of exploring emotions, relationships, memories, identity, conflict, and self-understanding when words feel limited or exhausting.
Alongside psychotherapy, I also have a holistic outlook and may integrate supportive practices such as mindfulness, grounding work, nervous system regulation techniques, and body-based awareness where helpful. I work in a neurodivergent-affirming and adaptable way, recognising that people experience and process the world differently, and that therapy should feel accessible rather than restrictive.
Before training as a therapist, I spent many years working in arts and community settings, where I saw first-hand the importance of connection, creativity, belonging, and being witnessed by others. Community-based work showed me how creative spaces can support self-worth, confidence, emotional expression, resilience, communication, relationship building, conflict resolution, identity development, and a sense of agency and voice.
Over the years I have worked with a wide range of individuals and organisations, including Acquired Brain Injury services, Cottage Autism Network, and the Alzheimer’s Society. I have also worked as a Counsellor and Art Psychotherapist in Bridgetown Secondary School, supporting young people through the complexities of adolescence, emotional wellbeing, identity, relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and regulation.
I currently lecture at Dublin Art Therapy College and am Head of the First Year Programme, supporting students as they begin their own therapeutic and professional development journeys.
For the past two years, I have volunteered with PsyCare, an organisation providing welfare and emotional support at music festivals. This work has deepened my understanding of crisis support, emotional containment, harm reduction, and the importance of calm human connection during moments of distress, vulnerability, overwhelm, or disorientation.
My training in working with suicidal thoughts and self-harm has strengthened my ability to sit alongside people experiencing deep emotional pain with steadiness, compassion, and without judgement. I understand how important it is for people to feel safe enough to speak honestly about difficult thoughts and experiences.
I also work with Synergy BMI, supporting people through the emotional and psychological aspects of their weight loss journeys, including self-image, confidence, identity, motivation, emotional eating, and the relationship between physical and emotional wellbeing.
Outside of my work, nature is an important part of how I care for my own mental health and wellbeing. Spending time outdoors helps me slow down, regulate, reflect, and reconnect with myself — something I believe many people are searching for in different ways.
At the heart of my work is the belief that therapy should feel human. A space where you can think, feel, reflect, create, question, unravel, or simply pause for a while — with support that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your individual experience.
