ABOUT ME & MY APPROACH
I have a deep interest in healing at all levels and offer psychotherapy and counselling at Tearmann Healing Centre, Ballyheigue.
I am an accredited psychotherapist with IAHIP and have a private practice at Tearmann Healing Centre where I work with individuals, couples and groups.
I have facilitated a variety of courses and workshops in personal development, spirituality and healing.
I also offer Group Facilitation and Meditation.
I hold a Diploma in Biodynamic and Integrative Psychotherapy and am a registered member of the Irish Council of Psychotherapy.
I have over 15 years experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist and am passionate about the value of this work. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to witness and accompany many people through their struggles and difficulties towards a new sense of meaning and purpose in their lives.
I believe it is important to make connections between health in ourselves and a healthy planet, being independent and yet aware of interdependence; balancing individual human needs with a broader concern for our planet and its scarce resources. I also believe in the importance of attending to the spiritual in life.
I welcome the opportunity to accompany people who wish to explore their spirituality and meaning systems in order to be in right relationship with all life forms.
Group Facilitation:
I offer Group Facilitation in a variety of settings: community, education, church, intercultural and organisations. I am committed to the empowerment of others and draw inspiration and methodology from my experience as a psychotherapist and my own personal life. I value the uniqueness of every person’s path and wisdom and feels privileged to accompany and encourage others on their journey.
Meditation:
Meditation and Reflection are vital aspects my work at the Tearmann Healing Centre. Holding an awareness of the interconnectedness of all life and our collective responsibility for the wellbeing of all creation, I attempts to discern a holistic vision for these challenging times. Each evening there is space for guided meditation, silence, poetry, reflection and sharing.
Meditation is held fortnightly on Thursdays from 8 - 9.30 pm
