My professional orientation as a psychotherapist is humanistic and integrative. Integrative means that I include several theoretical approaches in my work.
I offer psychotherapy in both English and French, and work with adults and adolescents.

I do both short-term and long-term psychotherapy and work with the following issues presented by clients:

• Trauma
• Relationship problems
• Anxiety
• Bereavement
• Suicide and self-harm
• Self-esteem issues
• Depression
• Sexuality problems
• Learning needs

I am an accredited member of the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP) as well as of the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP).

My approach is predominantly Gestalt and as an integrative psychotherapist I use several other approaches, for example Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and drama therapy/creative art therapy.

I qualified in 1996 with a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, then in 2004 with a Masters in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy from the University of Limerick. My first career was in teaching – I qualified in and taught in both primary and secondary schools and later moved into training of school staffs. I have worked for the DIT as a psychotherapist in secondary schools and currently work as a school counsellor.
