- Grief and loss

- Life changes and transitions
- Illness
- Trauma and abuse
- LGBTQ+ related concerns
How I work
My approach is person-centred and integrative. That means we start with you and what you bring, not a fixed programme, and I draw on different approaches when they help.
What matters most is the relationship between us. You can expect a confidential, non-judgemental space where you feel heard and respected. I work with warmth and curiosity, I’ll offer gentle challenge when it’s useful, and there’s room for a little humour too.
Walk and Talk therapy
Some people find it easier to talk side by side than face to face in a room. Walk and Talk sessions take place outdoors on quiet routes we agree together, combining gentle movement with conversation. It isn’t right for everyone, and we can talk about whether it suits you.

€60 per 50-minute session. I keep a limited number of reduced-fee spaces, so please ask if cost is a concern.

Can I claim from my health insurer?
