Starting Point

I started my career, over 9 years ago, working in the area of addiction and homeless accommodation. In an effort to reach a deeper understanding within myself of the psychological effects of trauma I began training in 2008, as a Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist at the Dublin Counselling and Training Centre. During my training at DCTC I embraced their core philosophy, which is to promote creative ways of experiencing human life. I qualified in 2011. In the past years my work has been concentrated in the area of supporting women, suffering abuse in intimate relationships, and working in sexual health, through the GMHS clinic. I have grown to understand, through my work, that healing involves the reorganisation of one’s experience on all levels: cognitive, emotional, physical and energetic. I believe in making interventions on a body level. Body orientated psychotherapy provides a doorway to the unconscious mind where the potential for deep restructuring and healing lies. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of all psychotherapeutic approaches. I adhere to, and am bound by a strict code of ethics as set out by the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP)
