Eileen’s Approach
Isupport you in becoming more curious about your client’s world through exploration of your own embodied, somatic and intuitive experience. What do you notice in your body when you think about this client? What images or associations arise? What seems to be happening in the space between you? And what might these responses illuminate about your client, yourself, and the therapeutic relationship?
Together, we explore these less conscious dimensions of practice alongside clinical knowledge and theory. Complex cases, ethical dilemmas and relational dynamics can be approached not only through what we think and know, but through what is felt, imagined and intuitively sensed.
Our embodied and intuitive responses can offer a rich source of clinical information. Rather than rushing to interpret them, we become curious about them: what might belong to you, what may be emerging through the therapeutic relationship, and what might offer another way of understanding your client’s experience.
Drawing on more than 20 years of clinical experience, my approach is informed by psychotherapy, Depth Psychology and psychological theory, while also drawing on literature, Irish mythology, art and folklore where these offer another way of seeing.
The intention is to create a thoughtful, non-judgmental space in which you can deepen your clinical understanding while developing greater trust in your own reflective, intuitive and creative capacities.
The Mythic and Imaginal World
Sometimes the language of theory is not enough to illuminate what is unfolding in our work.
Images, dreams, stories, metaphors and archetypal themes can emerge unexpectedly within the therapeutic encounter. When we become curious about them, they can offer another way of listening — to our clients, to ourselves, and to what may be taking shape between us.
What image arises when you think of this client? What story seems to be unfolding between you? Is there a character, landscape, myth or metaphor that somehow captures something words have not?
Drawing on Depth Psychology, Irish mythology, folklore, literature and the arts, I invite you to explore this imaginal and symbolic dimension of your clinical work.
We do not need to interpret what arises too quickly. Instead, we can stay curious, allowing image and metaphor to open different ways of encountering the complexity of the therapeutic relationship.

Professional & Clinical Grounding
My approach to consultation is grounded in more than 20 years of experience across psychotherapy, adult mental health services, clinical leadership, supervision and service development in Ireland, alongside 15 years in private psychotherapy practice.
My clinical training spans Gestalt and Somatic Psychotherapy, Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy, Existential and Psychodynamic approaches, and Jungian Depth Psychology. I hold degrees in Social Science and Social Work, Master’s degrees in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy and Irish Mythology and Folklore, and postgraduate training in Jungian Psychology and Advanced Reflective Supervision.
I am an accredited Psychotherapist and Supervisor with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and an accredited Psychotherapist with the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP).
My clinical experience has included acute and continuing-care adult mental health settings, Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Services, Talk Therapies, responses to self-harm presentations in Emergency Departments, mental health homelessness services, and consultation on the development of national mental health services in Ireland.
Rather than working from a single theoretical model, I bring these different strands together in an integrative, embodied and depth-oriented approach to professional consultation.
Clinical knowledge and theory are important foundations. I am equally interested in what we notice through the body, imagination, intuition and the often less visible dynamics of the therapeutic relationship.

Developing Your Own Therapeutic Voice
At the heart of my consultation work is a commitment to helping practitioners develop a therapeutic voice and professional identity that feels genuinely their own.
Becoming an experienced practitioner involves more than refining technique, theory and clinical discernment. It also means remaining connected to curiosity, imagination, instinct and creativity — particularly when the work becomes complex, uncertain or emotionally demanding.
Our work together creates space to become curious not only about what is happening for your client, but also about what is happening within you and between you and your client.
What are you noticing in your body? Where do you feel drawn towards or away from your client? What assumptions, beliefs or familiar patterns might be shaping how you understand what is happening? What becomes possible when we stay for a little longer with what is not yet fully known?
Rather than treating these responses as something to eliminate, we can explore them as potential sources of clinical information. Through an embodied, reflective and depth-oriented process, I support you in distinguishing what may belong to you, what may be emerging through the therapeutic relationship, and what might offer another way of understanding your client’s experience.
The intention is not to create therapists who work as I do.
It is to help you become more deeply grounded in how you work — strengthening your clinical judgement while developing greater trust in your own reflective, intuitive and creative capacities.
