“Being healed isn’t about feeling nothing. Being healed is about feeling the appropriate emotions at the appropriate times and still being able to come back to yourself. That’s just life.”
More about me:
I have over 10 years experience in the field. I hold a BSc in Psychology from the University of Aberdeen, where I also obtained the COSCA Counselling Skills Diploma. I completed my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at Trinity College Dublin in 2020. I am registered with the HCPC and am a member of the Psychological Society of Ireland.
My professional experience includes working in a hospital clinic supporting individuals with chronic pain, the Trinity Student Counselling Service, and Jigsaw Dublin South West / Dublin City, a youth mental health charity. I have worked with people across the lifespan, supporting a wide range of difficulties including disordered eating, neurodivergence, intergenerational trauma, stress, depression, and anxiety. I am currently based in Sweden and work as a consultant for a digital mental health provider.
My personal experiences have helped me understand how daunting it can feel to get support and to even begin therapy. Here, I aim to make that first step a little easier for you. I recognise how challenging it can be to move through the world when your mind and body feel disconnected, when stress becomes overwhelming, and everything just feels too much. There’s nothing wrong with you. This is how your mind and body have learned to survive. So, let’s find a new way of living.
When seeking therapy, you’re not just looking for a skilled professional, but for someone who genuinely understands.
My approach is collaborative, culturally sensitive, neuroaffirmative, and trauma-informed. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including Compassion Focused Therapy and attachment theory. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely seen and heard.
Together, we will explore your experiences and understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, helping you develop new ways of coping, cultivate greater self-awareness, and create a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling for you.

Ongoing physical symptoms connected to adversity, stress, and burnout (e.g., chronic pain/illness, sleep difficulties, IBS)
Neurodiversity
Anxiety and depression
Self-esteem and self-worth concerns
Disordered eating and concerns related to body image
