About Therapy
Sometimes it is difficult to say what is on your mind or express how you are feeling.
Talking to a trained professional can help to unravel these difficulties and see things a little clearer.
Therapy offers a safe, confidential place to discuss life issues and explore painful, confusing, and uncomfortable experiences without judgement.
I am a humanistic and integrative therapist with a strong foundation in person-centred therapy. As every individual is unique, I like to integrate different therapeutic practices to suit the needs of each individual.
The Highest Form of Human Intelligence is to See Yourself Without Judgement.
Types of Therapy
Person-Centred Therapy
Psychodynamic Theory
Choice Theory
Existential Theory
Gestalt Therapy
Internal Family Systems
Mindfulness and Meditation
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
My Philosophy
The help I offer is personalised around you and what you would like to achieve. I see every individual as unique as well as the experiences that life has presented.
My values in this work are kindness, compassion, non-judgement, and an appreciation for the courage it takes to change and grow through life’s difficulties.
Therapy is for everyone who is willing to understand themselves and want to make the necessary changes for a more fulfilling life.
Therapy is not about what is wrong with you, it is about what happened to you and how to make sense of your experience.
My work is aimed at building a safe, trustworthy relationship in a non-judgemental and confidential setting where you can explore what matters to you with respect and dignity

Ethics and Standards
I am a Fully Accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and I work to their ethical and professional standards.
This means that my work is professionally supervised to ensure that ethical standards and professional development are maintained.
These Guidelines also protect the rights of my client which include confidentiality that is agreed at the beginning of any course of therapy.
As a client, you are in control of your therapy. Counselling is short term and Psychotherapy is long term. You make the decision to end your sessions at any time.
Health Insurance & Tax Relief
Irish Health Insurers usually cover up to 8 sessions (sometimes more) of Psychotherapy & Counselling per year, once your therapist is registered with IACP, ICP or IAHIP. As I am a fully accredited member of the IACP, you should be able to reclaim some or all of the cost of therapy depending on your specific insurance policy if you are insured with VHI Healthcare, Irish Life Health Insurance or LAYA Healthcare.
Income Tax relief on Counselling & Psychotherapy fees of up to 20% annually is available to all individuals including PAYE employees, the Self Employed and those with other taxable sources of income. This is in the form of qualifying “Health Expenses” as defined in section 469 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997.
