About me
I hold a psychology degree and CBT diploma from Dublin, Ireland. Living in Frankfurt, Germany, for over 10 years, I understand expat challenges firsthand. Working online is flexible and effective, allowing us to accommodate schedules. Currently, I also work part-time for Supportroom, an online EAP program. With diverse experiences, I engage with clients from various cultures and backgrounds.
Formerly a musician, I still enjoy playing guitar, ukulele, and piano. For relaxation, yoga, reading, walking, and podcasts are my go-to activities. Passionate about understanding people's lives and challenges, I find therapy to be a fascinating and creative process between client and therapist.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and Commitment TherapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
My first priority is for you to feel heard and understood.
Any approaches I propose will be built on the fundamental therapeutic principles of empathy, positive regard, and honesty. CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) works very well in an online format since there are numerous interactive aspects, such as thought logs and worksheets. Studying our belief systems and automatic negative thought processes can be simply implemented in an online session. I also like to use ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), which incorporates, mindfulness and visualisation techniques. Since therapy is a collaborative process, I tend to tailor my approach based on what I think will work best for each individual.
