I am passionate about my work and am committed to offering you a safe and non-judgmental space to explore whatever issues you chose.
With over 40 years experience as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor working in a range of settings, I hope to bring some of that into my work.
My approach developed over those years is relational and integrative which is hard to describe in a few words. Irving Yalom suggests . ‘It’s the relationship that heals, the relationship that heals, the relationship that heals. (1989, p.91) The way that we understand ourselves is in relationship to others and our wider environment.
My intention is to offer a safe and confidential space to talk about what matters to you.
There are no hard or fast rules about how should attend and I invite you to contact me if you feel it might be right for you, we can have a conversation in the first instance.
My background is in youth and community work, mental health social work as well as counselling, psychotherapy and supervision, I have a diploma and Masters from the University of Manchester
I am accredited with the Irish Association of Integrative and Humanistic Psychotherapy as therapist and supervisor; The Irish Council for Psychotherapy; The European Association for Psychotherapy and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.
