My path into psychotherapy was shaped by a deep personal understanding of how emotional difficulties can affect individuals and families. Having witnessed the impact of these struggles up close led me to retrain as a psychotherapist and dedicate my work to supporting people through similar experiences.

I come from a professional background in social care, where I supported young people and their families through complex and often challenging circumstances. I worked closely with young people who were at risk of entering care, helping them navigate emotional, behavioural, and relational difficulties during particularly vulnerable periods in their lives.

 Over time, I progressed to a team-leading role, where I continued to support young people and their families directly while also coordinating care and advocating for their needs alongside social workers, educators, and mental health professionals. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in working collaboratively with individuals, families, and wider support systems.

Alongside this work, I completed a psychotherapy clinical placement within a suicide prevention organisation, supporting people experiencing emotional distress and providing a safe space for difficult conversations.

I hold a First-Class Honours BSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and am an accredited member of IACP. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to understand each person's unique experiences and adapt my work to suit individual needs. I work with adults and adolescents, offering in-person sessions in Swords, Co. Dublin, and online, where people can reconnect with themselves and develop a more compassionate way of relating to their inner world.

As my work in the area of eating disorders has developed, I have also had opportunities to bring that experience beyond individual therapy and into group work, workshops, education, and training. 

My work with Lois Bridges began when I was invited to deliver a workshop as part of Eating Disorder Awareness Week, supporting people affected by eating disorders in their recovery. Since then, I have been invited back on several occasions to facilitate group therapy sessions, creating a therapeutic space where experiences of recovery can be explored and shared.

I have also collaborated with local GP practices to deliver educational talks for parents on the early recognition of eating disorders. Alongside this, I have facilitated workshops within youth services to support greater awareness and understanding of eating disorders, and have contributed to eating disorder training for fellow psychotherapists.

These opportunities have become an important extension of my clinical work. Alongside supporting people directly in therapy, I value being able to contribute to a wider understanding of eating disorders among families, communities, and other professionals.

I also have a special interest in and experience supporting neurodivergent clients and aim to create a therapeutic space where neurodiversity is understood, respected, and valued. I work collaboratively and adapt my approach to each person's individual way of thinking, feeling, and engaging with the world.

Across all areas of my work, my focus remains on creating a space where people can feel safe to slow things down, understand themselves with greater compassion, and begin working towards meaningful and lasting change.
