My clinical background and training are in the following Psychotherapy modalities:   Gestalt and Somatic Psychotherapy, Existential, Psychodynamic and Jungian Depth Work Psychology. I have a Degree in Social Science, a Masters in Social Work, a Masters in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy, a Masters in Irish Mythology and Folklore, a Diploma in Jungian Psychology, and a Diploma in Advanced Reflexive Supervision, and I am a certified Wellness Coach in the United States. I interweave all these approaches, amongst other training gleaned over the years, to inform my Reflective Supervision Practice. I am an accredited Psychotherapist with the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. 

I have worked in Private Psychotherapy practice for 14 years. I worked in Adult Psychiatry for over 20 years as a Mental Health Social Worker, dual qualified Psychotherapist, and as a Mental Health Social Work Department Manager for six years. This was both in acute and continuing care mental health settings, where clinical group and individual supervision was provided to practitioners. I provided consultation on the National Development of Mental Health Services in Ireland between 2016 and 2022 in the following specialist clinical areas: 

• Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Services,

• Talk Therapies

• Self Harm Presentations in Emergency Departments.

I was involved in setting up and implementing a Specialist Mental Health Homeless service in Galway on the west coast of Ireland between 2017 - 2022. This service went on to win a National Health Service Executive award in Ireland in the Recognition of staff achievement. 

I am passionate about supporting practitioners to discover their own therapeutic voice and identity, to become successful ‘good enough’ therapists. 

In my view, this means not only mastering your approach in terms of technique, skill, theory and clinical discernment but also, at its heart, discovering and rediscovering your passion, artistic and creative soul self in your work so you can support your clients to do the same, in their own lives.

We unearth core belief systems and unconscious patterns that may also inhibit your own development and growth. What stories do you tell yourself unconsciously that hinder or nourish you? In an integrative, embodied way, we explore together how to process those long-held limiting belief systems so you can feel more resourced and empowered, creating a stronger sense of internal anchor and rootedness to meet your life in greater connection and not so cut off from your authentic soul self.
