A bit about me ..
I hold an MSc in Systemic & Family Psychotherapy and I am a fully accredited member of both the Family Therapy Association of Ireland (FTAI) and the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP). In systemic psychotherapy, we understand that our lives are shaped by the relationships we have with others. Often, the challenges we face—whether in thoughts, feelings or behaviours—make more sense when we look at them in the context of these relationships.
As a Polyvagal-Informed Therapist, I help you understand how your nervous system influences the way you experience the world and connect with others. When we feel stressed or overwhelmed, our nervous system is doing its job to protect us by triggering responses like fight, flight or freeze and while these responses are natural, they can sometimes leave us feeling stuck or disconnected. Together, we’ll work on recognising these patterns and learning ways to feel more regulated and grounded, so you can create a greater sense of balance and well-being.
I also use Narrative Therapy, which recognises you as the experts in your own life. The stories we tell about our experiences shape how we see ourselves and how we relate to others. Together, we’ll explore these personal narratives, identify your strengths and challenge any unhelpful or limiting beliefs. This process helps you take ownership of your life story, creating meaningful change and deepening your connections with yourself and others.
