About me
I have a diverse background in Social Care, Coaching, Counselling, and Psychotherapy, with extensive experience working across Ireland, the UK, Australia, and the UAE. This international exposure has provided me with a deep understanding of how culture influences personal development, mental health, and coping strategies.
Throughout my career, I have worked with both young people and adults, helping them develop a greater understanding of themselves while equipping them with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My approach is integrative, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic methods tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of concerns, including but not limited to:
Mental Health & Emotional Well-Being – Anxiety, depression, ADHD, BPD, bipolar disorder, OCD, eating disorders, and grief. Personal Growth & Resilience – Self-awareness, confidence building, and coping strategies. Relationships & Family Support – Navigating family dynamics, relationship challenges, and managing difficult behaviors at home. Academic & Career Development – Addressing academic stress, career planning, and professional growth. Addiction & Homelessness Support – Working with individuals facing substance use challenges and unstable living conditions. My passion lies in creating a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, fostering lasting personal growth and resilience.

Approach
I am a Pluralistic Counsellor and Psychotherapist, trained in Ireland. Pluralism is a collaborative and integrative approach to therapy, grounded in humanistic and person-centered values. This perspective recognizes that each client is unique, and therefore, therapy should be tailored to their individual needs rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all model.
As part of my Master’s studies, I also specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with a particular focus on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These evidence-based approaches provide structured tools to help clients challenge unhelpful thoughts, build resilience, and cultivate psychological flexibility.
I am also trained in EMDR, supporting clients through trauma.
My philosophy is that clients are the experts in their own lives—my role is to provide a safe, supportive space where they can explore their experiences, develop self-awareness, and find meaningful ways to navigate life’s challenges. Through a collaborative process, I integrate various therapeutic techniques to best support each individual's journey toward healing and growth.
