MY BACKGROUND
My Background
I obtained my qualification in counselling from Dublin Business School and I am an accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
My aim is to provide a warm, empathetic and non-judgemental environment where individuals feel safe, supported and comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings and experiences.
My therapeutic approach is humanistic, person-centred and integrative. I recognise that every individual is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet each client’s specific needs, offering a supportive space in which they can explore their experiences, develop self-awareness and work towards personal growth.
I draw on a range of therapeutic skills and approaches to support clients with a wide variety of issues and challenges, working collaboratively with each individual at their own pace and in a way that feels right for them.
AREAS OF SUPPORT
How I can support you
Anxiety
It is common for individuals to experience a sense of apprehension or concern. It is important to identify the root of these feelings and explore methods to manage them effectively.
Depression
Seeking help is a sign of strength and resilience, and it can be an effective way to overcome difficult emotions.
Trauma
Overcoming challenging situations is an integral part of life. By acknowledging and addressing these difficulties, we can learn important lessons that can guide us towards growth and personal transformation.
Relationship Issues
Difficulties in managing relationships with loved ones.
Loss of a Loved One
Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be a challenging and emotional process. It is important to remember that everyone grieves differently and there is no right or wrong way to cope. It is important to take time to process your emotions and seek support, whether it be from friends, family, or a professional therapist.
Low Self-Esteem
It is natural to have moments of uncertainty, but allowing those emotions to persist can hinder professional and personal growth.
Postnatal Depression
Postnatal depression is the most prevalent mental health condition that occurs following childbirth. Symptoms can vary widely and may include a low mood, frequent crying, loss of interest and pleasure, social isolation, agitation, reduced appetite, difficulty focusing, as well as feelings of worthlessness and helplessness.
Suicidal Thoughts
A safe, non-judgemental space to talk about difficult thoughts.
A PERSON-CENTRED APPROACH
A Space Where You Feel Heard
At different times in our lives, we may all need someone dependable who is truly present, listens with care and understanding, and offers a space free from judgement or criticism. Having someone who listens attentively and responds with sincerity and compassion can help us feel heard, understood and supported.
I believe that creating a calm, safe and welcoming therapeutic environment is an essential part of the counselling process. My aim is to offer a space where clients feel comfortable enough to explore their inner thoughts, emotions and fears openly, at their own pace, and without fear of judgement. I recognise that every individual has their own unique experiences and challenges, and I seek to meet each client with empathy, respect and understanding.
