I started my working career in accountancy for business and through life experiences redirected me to the love for counselling and psychotherapy. I have been known as the problem solver all my life and I decided to put my skills to good use and help others by becoming a counsellor and psychotherapist.
While training I realised that everyone has this ability to solve their own problems and find their own happiness but some do not understand the reasons why they are feeling the way they do or why certain blocks are in their way. This can cause stress, anxiety or confusion as to what is really going on and may keep a person stuck in their ways so they can’t see the forest for the trees.
Knowing your emotions, thoughts and feelings and responding to them in appropriate ways will be the greatest gift you can give yourself. Life taught me to believe that I can solve my problems and trust in living a worthwhile life.
I believe in giving back all that I have gained through my experiences and being supportive to others who ask.
Clients say they find me easy to talk to and I am a good listener. They find I am warm, have a calming presence, emphatic and insightful.

Am I the right therapist for you?
Finding a therapist who is right for you is most important. Feel free to contact me for a €30 consultation and learn for yourself how I work and get my perspective on your situation, then decided if we are a good fit. Ask questions about therapy and what to expect.
Taking the first step in getting support can be most difficult. Together, we can heal past hurts and develop healthier ways of coping with life’s difficulties. After a while you will learn to see things differently, empowering you to take control of your life and feelings.
