While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, counselling usually focuses on supporting you through specific challenges or decisions, often in the short term. Psychotherapy tends to explore deeper patterns, emotions, and experiences, helping you understand long-standing difficulties and make meaningful changes over time.

Both offer a safe, confidential space, but psychotherapy often involves a more in-depth, reflective process.

You don’t need a referral to work with me. Most people self-refer by getting in touch directly through the website or by email.

If you prefer, you’re also welcome to come through your GP or another professional who knows you. Some clients like having that extra layer of support when starting. But it isn’t required.

However you arrive, the first step is simply reaching out. From there, we’ll talk through what you’re looking for, answer any questions you have, and arrange a session if it feels like a good fit.

You can call or message me on 089 459 1871, or reach out through the contact form on this website.

Yes. If you’re looking for short-term support, I offer Clarity Sessions that provide focused guidance, insight, and practical tools in just one or two sessions. They can help you gain perspective, explore a specific issue, or decide whether ongoing therapy might be right for you.

On Monday and Wednesday I see clients at the Adult and Child Therapy Centre in Sandyford (Dublin 18). The centre is directly opposite the Luas stop, close to several bus routes and there’s parking nearby.

I also see clients at my private practice in Stillorgan (Co. Dublin). There is parking available and it is close to the Luas and bus.

Online sessions are also available for clients who require more flexibility.

Most people attend weekly, especially at the beginning. Regular sessions help build momentum and a sense of safety. Over time, we can adjust the frequency based on your needs.

I have a small number of reduced-fee spaces. If cost is a barrier, please reach out. If I’m unable to offer a reduced slot, I can suggest other options or referrals that may suit you.

Our relationship is central to the work we do together. If something ever feels off or uncomfortable, it’s absolutely ok to share that. We can explore it together, and if another therapist seems like a better fit for your needs, I can gently support you in finding the right person. My priority is always that you feel supported and safe in your therapy.

We’ll talk about this together. Ending therapy is a thoughtful process, not a sudden stop. When you feel more settled, clearer, or able to meet life with greater ease, we can begin planning a gentle, intentional ending.
