As an integrative psychotherapist, I offer a collaborative approach to help individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change.
About me &
qualifications
I'm a fully qualified psychotherapist based in Sligo, working with adults and couples in a compassionate, non-judgmental space. I work with a wide range of personal and interpersonal issues - from life transitions, relationship dynamics, and identity exploration to emotional challenges and trauma. I’m especially passionate about LGBTQA+ and GSRD-affirmative therapy, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities.
My work is grounded in empathy, respect, and evidence-based practice. I hold a First-Class Honours BSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from IICP College, where I trained in a blend of humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, and multicultural approaches. This foundation supports my belief in therapy as a collaborative and equal relationship - one where you are seen as the expert in your own life, and supported with curiosity, care, and compassion.

My work is grounded in empathy, respect, and evidence-based practice. I hold a First-Class Honours BSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from IICP College, where I trained in a blend of humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, and multicultural approaches. I also have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals, and I continue to pursue ongoing professional development in GSRD-affirmative practice. This foundation supports my belief in therapy as a collaborative, equal relationship — one where you are seen as the expert in your own life, and supported with curiosity, care, and compassion.
My clinical experience includes work with Turn2Me and the SRCC, two organisations I remain connected with today. These roles have shaped my trauma-informed, inclusive approach and strengthened my capacity to support clients with care, sensitivity, and confidence.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked for many years in the health and wellness field — as a personal trainer, and as a yoga and meditation teacher (E-RYT 500). This background informs my therapeutic approach, grounding it in the mind–body connection and the role of presence, balance, and self-awareness in emotional well-being.
My own long-term relationship has inspired a strong interest in couples therapy. I am dedicated to helping couples build meaningful connection, navigate challenges, and grow together.
About My Approach
I 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 help individuals and couples identify and work with the emotions and patterns that shape their experiences and relationships. 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 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.
