I have been working in my private psychotherapy and coaching practice in Ireland for over twenty years, giving me deep diverse experience of working with issues in living. We all face difficulties and challenges. Sometimes these stem from stressful situations, problematic relationships or traumatic events and can lead to thoughts and feelings that are confusing or distressing. I believe coaching and therapy is not a "one size fits all” process, we are all unique and it is important to me as therapist and coach that I meet you where you are at.
As an accredited member of IAHIP and a member of EMCC and ICF, I follow their principles and ethical guidelines. My core training as a therapist is Humanistic and Integrative, and my Coaching Masters is in the Existential approach.
The word therapy covers talking therapies such as psychotherapy and counselling. Whether you are coming to therapy with a particular issue, a general sense of unwellness, or a deeper search for purpose and meaning, therapy offers a safe, confidential place to talk to a trained professional about your feelings and concerns. Therapy can help you to see things from a different perspective, break free from old unhelpful patterns, heal past traumas, and increase self-confidence.
I have a deep understanding of the challenges in life that we can sometimes face and have worked both in the voluntary and the private sector, including addiction services, rape crisis services, and EAP services. Working together I can help you find an in-depth understanding of yourself, of who you are and help you to resolve internal conflicts.
I welcome and value people’s uniqueness, diversity, and autonomy. As an Integrative therapist, I draw from several therapeutic frameworks to meet your unique needs. I help and support people as they improve their mental health and well-being, and support individuals as they deal with issues such as
Bereavement and loss
Anxiety
Depression
Managing Change
Self Esteem
Trauma
Transition and Change
Relationship problems such as communication difficulties
Loss of Intimacy
Addiction
Issues of Motivation
You may be feeling stuck in one area of your life while other areas are flourishing. You may have realized that you are ready for that change you have been thinking about for some time. I can help you identify goals and stumbling blocks that might be stopping you from reaching your desires, possibilities and potential. The process of transition and change can be complex and at these times we can feel anxious and doubt our decision-making process.
There are times, particularly if we are over worked and running out of steam, that our inner critic can niggle away at our resilience and self-confidence, leading to self-doubt. My aim as your coach is to help you connect to your motivation, passions and potential as you make your choices. Asking questions so you come up with the answers that will help guide you in your life.
Coaching can make a difference to all areas of life ,and the following comes up a lot in my coaching practice:
Self esteem
Inner Critic
Stress
Anxiety
Personal Development
Motivation
Procrastination
Transition and Change
Relationship Dynamics at Home and at Work
Work Life Balance
Before you invest in yourself, why not talk to me about what you want coaching to achieve for you. I offer one to one and group coaching. Coaching is an invaluable opportunity for self-development and personal growth.
As people's lives become more mobile, I offer psychotherapy and coaching in a more flexible way. I utilise online video platforms, and telephone therapy to offer flexibility to clients who wish to access therapy from more distant locations. I also offer face-to-face appointments in my Limerick city office, Ireland.
I offer a choice of appointment times, offering both day and evening appointments Monday to Friday. Take the first steps, get in touch.
