About me
I was born in England and grew up in Ireland. I studied psychology in Dublin and moved on to complete a masters in applied psychology. After my studies I worked in Tokyo and Australia to finance my travels. I returned to Ireland later where I lived with my husband and children. I continued my training parallel, this time specialising in psychotherapy. My training involved four years of experiential work in groups and individually. We later came to Germany in 2007 where we have settled in well and I have gained extensive experience in the World of mental health and therapy. I am excited about setting up work online where I can reach more people and work independently. I offer therapy through English and German.

Approach
I offer a space where my clients feel safe to explore their inner World. Using an integrative and humanistic approach I work with unconscious motivations and enjoy a deeper level of communication. I have discovered through my extensive years of client work, that the cognitive-analytical approach as well as the behavioural approaches are useful in helping people deal with depression and anxiety, assisting them in finding the tools they need to cope with everyday life. I also understand the importance of mindfulness and bodywork in therapy and have been successful in helping clients explore and discover their ways of thinking, as well as connecting to their bodies.
