ABOUT ME & MY APPROACH
With over 25 years of senior leadership experience in Human Resources and organisational effectiveness, combined with an accredited background in executive coaching and an MSc in Psychotherapy, I bring a unique blend of corporate insight and therapeutic skill to my work. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I held strategic roles in various sectors, navigating complex growth and downsizing challenges, and driving initiatives in leadership & talent development, team dynamics, and executive coaching. This background has endowed me with a nuanced understanding of workplace dynamics, stressors, and the psychological resilience needed to thrive professionally.
In 2020, I chose to transition fully into psychotherapy and coaching, completing my psychotherapy qualification and expanding my focus on supporting individuals in navigating both personal and professional challenges. My therapeutic approach is integrative, blending humanistic, person-cantered principles with a psychodynamic ethos. This approach allows me to tailor our work to each client’s unique needs while also drawing on my corporate experience to address issues such as workplace well-being, leadership challenges, and career transitions.
I strive to create a safe, supportive, where clients feel truly heard and understood. In this environment, clients can develop clarity, confidence, and the skills needed to navigate challenges.
With compassion and care, I see therapy as a collaborative journey, creating a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. Together, we work toward clarity, resilience, and empowerment—whether tackling self-esteem issues, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or broader life concerns. My goal is to help clients not only navigate challenges both personally and professionally, and to cultivate a fulfilling, balanced life.
I hold a first-class MSc in Psychotherapy from DCU, am pre-accredited with the IACP, and am an accredited Executive and Career Coach with the EMCC. Working with both individuals and couples, I am deeply committed to fostering growth, clarity, and long-term psychological well-being.
