As an integrative psychotherapist, I offer a collaborative approach to support individuals, couples, and people in diverse relationship structures and identities as they navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.
About me &
qualifications
I’m an IACP Accredited Psychotherapist based in Sligo, working with adults and people in diverse relationships in a compassionate, non-judgemental space.
I support clients with a wide range of personal and relational challenges — from life transitions, relationship dynamics, and identity exploration to emotional difficulties and trauma.
I am particularly passionate about couples therapy, LGBTQIA+ and GSRD-affirmative practice, and supporting people in diverse relationship structures. I welcome clients of all identities, backgrounds, and relationship experiences, including those exploring or practising ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and other forms of consensual relationship diversity.
My work is grounded in empathy, respect, curiosity, and collaboration. I hold a First-Class Honours BSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for individuals and couples, as well as a Diploma in GSRD-Affirmative Therapy. These trainings inform my relational approach, supporting clients in understanding emotional patterns, strengthening connection, and creating relationships that feel authentic and meaningful.
My clinical experience includes working with diverse client groups through community and therapeutic settings, including SRCC. These experiences have shaped my trauma-informed, inclusive approach and strengthened my ability to work with sensitivity, openness, and respect for each person’s unique story.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and adhere to the ethical standards and professional framework of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for many years in the health and wellbeing field as a personal trainer and yoga and meditation teacher (E-RYT 500). This background continues to inform my appreciation of the mind–body connection and the importance of presence, awareness, and self-compassion in emotional wellbeing.
My own long-term relationship has deepened my interest in relational work and the complexities of human connection. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and people in diverse relationship structures to navigate challenges, strengthen emotional connection, and build relationships that feel authentic, meaningful, and aligned with their values.
About My Approach
I work from a humanistic and integrative perspective, where therapy is a collaborative process shaped by your needs, values, and lived experience. I believe meaningful change happens when we feel seen, heard, and supported — so our work together begins by creating a space where you can show up just as you are.
As an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) practitioner, I support people in understanding the emotions and patterns that shape their inner world and their relationships. I work with individuals and people in relationships across a range of relational experiences, including monogamous, non-monogamous, and polyamorous relationship structures, holding space for the unique dynamics, questions, and possibilities each may bring. Rather than following a fixed method, I draw from a range of therapeutic perspectives, keeping sessions responsive to your needs. Whether we’re exploring past experiences, navigating present challenges, or imagining new possibilities, we move at a pace that feels safe, steady, and attuned to your emotional experience.
My work has been shaped not just by psychological insight, but also by a holistic understanding of how mind, body, and emotions are deeply connected. Practices like yoga, meditation, and breathwork inform how I listen, hold space, and support the unfolding of your own inner wisdom.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong”—it’s about coming into a relationship with yourself in a new way. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, gently untangle what’s getting in the way, and support the growth and emotional connection that’s already waiting beneath the surface.
Working with Couples
My approach to couples therapy is grounded in the belief that strong, lasting relationships are built on emotional connection, safety, and truly hearing one another. I work with couples and partners across a range of relationship structures, including those in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships. I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) to help couples understand the patterns that keep them stuck and gently support them in reconnecting.
Often, couples get caught in the same arguments or shut down — not because they don’t care, but because something deeper is happening beneath the surface. EFCT helps us slow down and tune in to what is really being felt — longing, fear, the need for closeness, or the desire to know we matter.
Through my ongoing learning and clinical practice with EFT Ireland, I continue to deepen my skills to best support couples in navigating these challenges.
My role is to create a calm, safe space where both partners can show up more honestly and hear each other in new ways. Therapy isn’t about blame; it’s about recognising how each of you reaches for connection, even when it’s hard to see.
This process helps couples discover new ways of relating that feel open, emotionally secure, and authentic — both as individuals and as a couple.
