Bespoke therapy that adapts to you

Counselling is a confidential talking therapy. Talking through problems allows time and space to process situations and relationships, and to make sense of feelings that can otherwise feel overwhelming.

I incorporate Person Centred Counselling, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Somatic Experiencing into one bespoke framework, blending these theories to foster self acceptance and strengthen your sense of self. I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, from single sessions to long term, ongoing support.

Common areas I support:

Somatic Experiencing is a body oriented therapy developed by Dr Peter Levine to help process and heal from trauma. It works on the premise that trauma is stored in the body, and can show up as physical tension, emotional distress or a dysregulated nervous system.

In sessions you'll be gently encouraged to engage with physical sensations in a safe, supportive environment, gradually processing experiences without becoming overwhelmed. We often begin with the body scan: noticing tension or sensation in the body without judgement. Over time you learn to release pent up energy and emotion associated with past trauma, while developing tools to regulate your nervous system and find greater balance.

I'm currently in the 6th Cohort of Somatic Experiencing Ireland, a three year postgraduate clinical training programme under clinicians trained by Dr Peter Levine. This education enhances my skills and lets me integrate this powerful therapy into my healing sessions.

By combining somatic experiencing with other therapeutic modalities, I aim to provide a comprehensive approach to healing that addresses both the mind and body, helping you find lasting relief and empowerment on your healing journey.

Should you prefer a more solution focused, directive approach, coaching may be for you. It's ideal if you're working towards a specific goal or life change, such as a career move, but need help figuring out exactly what that change is and how to get there.

Together we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your options and build an action plan to reach your goal in the most efficient, rewarding way possible. My training in nutrition, weight management, mindfulness and mood and food work means we can look at the whole picture of how you feel, physically and emotionally.

Reiki is an energy based therapy that activates the body's natural ability to heal itself, restoring both physical and emotional wellbeing. Trained to Master Level, having taught over 300 students, reiki and energy work remain a big part of how I understand the body and what it holds.

I'm currently taking a break from one-to-one reiki sessions, but my background in energy work still shapes the way I hold somatic sessions today, meeting the whole of you, not just the talking part.
