My Professional Background

I hold both a BA and an MA in Counselling and am fully accredited by the APCP. I strictly adhere to their professional standards and code of ethics.

Over the past 20 years, I have worked closely with individuals in a variety of settings, including:

  • Disability services
  • Social care
  • Homeless services
  • Mental health services

Through this work, I have developed a strong understanding of how life experiences, trauma, stress and relationship difficulties can shape a person’s sense of self and emotional wellbeing.
I bring not only professional training but also deep compassion to the therapy room.

My Approach to Counselling

I work from a Humanistic and Integrative perspective, blending:

  • Person-Centred therapy
  • Humanistic therapy
  • Spiritual awareness (when appropriate and meaningful to the client)

This means I do not take a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I adapt therapy to meet your individual needs.
The focus is on creating a non-judgmental space where you feel supported in exploring:

  • Emotional pain
  • Relationship patterns
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Childhood experiences
  • Family estrangement
  • Anxiety, stress or crisis

What You Can Expect in Sessions

Each counselling session lasts approximately 50–60 minutes and takes place in a confidential, safe and supportive environment, either in person in County Clare or online across Ireland. The first session focuses on understanding what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it.

You are free to speak openly, without judgement or pressure. We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs, whether that involves exploring past experiences, improving relationships, building self-esteem or managing emotional distress.

Above all, you can expect empathy, professionalism and a calm, steady presence throughout your journey.
