Find quick answers to common questions about my therapy services, approach, and what to expect.

  • Counselling and Psychotherapy are terms used to describe the process of speaking about things that are difficult with someone who is qualified. Counselling is often thought of as short term work and Psychotherapy as longer term work. I am qualified, skilled and experienced as both a counsellor and psychotherapist.

  • Therapy can support you through a wide range of challenges, whether you're navigating personal struggles, relationship issues, or life transitions. Some of the areas where therapy can be particularly helpful include:

    • Depression

    • Anxiety

    • Stress

    • Panic Attacks

    • Workplace Pressure

    • Grief and Loss

    • Suicidal Thoughts

    • Relationship Challenges (including communication issues, conflict, and intimacy struggles)

    • Low Self-Esteem

    • Trauma

    • Self-Harm

    • Abuse (current or past)

    • Coping with Illness

    • Struggling with Conflict

    • LGBTQIA+ Identity and Relationship Issues (including coming out, discrimination, and navigating unique challenges within relationships).

    • Navigating Relationship Dynamics (binary and non-binary).

    This list is not exhaustive. Ultimately, you are the best judge of your own needs. If you're finding it difficult to cope or feel that life isn't offering the fulfillment you deserve, therapy can offer the support you need to move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

  • I am a Pre-Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the IACP, the largest professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Ireland. I adhere to their Ethical Framework in my practice.

  • Most sessions take place in person. However, I also offer online sessions through Zoom and WhatsApp Video.

  • The duration of our work together depends on your individual needs. Some people attend for a short period, such as 6–8 sessions, while others prefer longer-term support. You are in control of how long you attend. Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly—whatever works best for you.

  • 50 min individual session - €75

    75 min couples therapy session - €120

    For sessions involving more than two partners (for example in non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships), fees and structure can be discussed together in advance so that we agree on an approach that feels fair and workable for everyone involved.

  • I offer sessions Monday through Friday and will do my best to accommodate a time that suits your schedule.

  • Consistency is vital in therapy, so I reserve a dedicated weekly slot for each client. This ensures your time is protected and unavailable to others. My cancellation policy supports this commitment.

    If you need to cancel a session, please note that cancellations are accepted up to 48 hours prior to the appointed time. Cancellations after this time are chargeable at the normal rate.

  • I aim to schedule your first session within a week of your initial inquiry. If immediate availability is limited, I’ll do my best to offer you the earliest possible appointment.

  • All that you share in the sessions is confidential. However, there are some limits to confidentiality, which I’ll be happy to explain in more detail in the initial session.

  • Yes. My practice is a safe and affirming space for clients across the full LGBTQIA+ spectrum. That includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, agender, nonbinary, pansexual and other identities and expressions that fall outside cisgender, heterosexual, and mono-normative experiences.

    Whether you're seeking therapy to explore your identity, navigate coming out, transition, heal from discrimination, strengthen your relationships, or work through entirely unrelated life experiences, you are welcome here - fully and without needing to explain or justify who you are.

  • Yes. I work with couples and relationships of all genders and orientations - including queer, trans, and nonbinary partners. My approach supports open communication, emotional safety, and connection on your own terms.

  • In couples therapy, I work with both partners together in joint sessions. This approach helps to focus on the relationship as a whole, fostering open communication and mutual understanding within the shared space.

  • Couples therapy supports a wide range of challenges, including communication difficulties, sexual concerns, rebuilding trust after infidelity, coping with grief - such as the profound challenges following the loss of a child - and navigating separation or divorce. It offers a safe and compassionate space to deepen intimacy, address sensitive issues, and work through both relationship growth and difficult life transitions together.

  • The duration of couples therapy varies depending on your unique needs and goals. Some couples find a few focused sessions helpful, while others benefit from longer-term work. We’ll regularly review your progress together and adjust the therapy plan to best support your relationship’s growth.

  • Yes — I work with individuals, couples, and partners in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships. I offer a non-judgemental and affirming space where different relationship structures are respected and explored with care. You don’t need to explain or justify how your relationship works — we begin from where you are and what matters most to you.

  • Therapy can be a supportive space to explore the dynamics that arise within non-monogamous relationships — whether that’s communication, boundaries, jealousy, or navigating change. Rather than assuming a “right” way to relate, we focus on what feels meaningful, sustainable, and emotionally secure for you and your relationship(s).

  • Yes. I offer a trans-affirming space where your gender identity is respected and at the centre of our work. I recognise the social, emotional, and medical contexts you may navigate, and together, we’ll focus on supporting and enhancing your well-being every step of the way

  • Yes — in some cases, more than two partners can attend sessions. This depends on the needs of the relationship and what feels most supportive for the work.

    In non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships — including throuples, polycles, or other relationship structures — it can be helpful for all partners to be involved, especially when exploring communication and shared dynamics. At times, working with fewer partners or in different combinations may feel more manageable.

    We can decide together what approach best supports everyone involved.

  • My privacy policy, which outlines how your information is handled, is an integral part of our agreement and will be discussed during the initial session.
