Get to Know Me
Fellow Human, Coffee drinker, Nature Lover
I haven't always been a therapist. My first degree was in Psychology, and before that I worked as a healthcare assistant in a nursing home. Both of those experiences fostered within me a profoundly deep love and respect for the power of human connection. I witnessed the difference it made.
My passion for counselling was born when my eldest son was diagnosed with ASD. I became acutely aware and focused on our communication needs, as we were experiencing real difficulties in this area. I felt there must be something more that I could do to help us both, so I enrolled in 4 years of counselling study and I've never looked back.
That was a long time ago, my eldest son is all grown up now, with a wicked sense of humour, infectious smile and unapologetic sense of self. I'm forever grateful for our experiences and journey together, as it is the reason I found my way into this work and continue to have the career that I am so passionate about.
I have studied and applied many different techniques and therapeutic interventions over the years, which have helped me to help so many people. I completed my EMDR training with Gus Murray, the president of the EMDR All Ireland Association in Cork. This comprehensive and advanced form of psychotherapy is yet another way in which I am better able to support you.
It has been my privilege and an honour to be able to do the work that I do. I know first hand just how much of a difference it can make in our lives when we are seen, heard, valued and supported just as we are, for who we truly are.
