About me
The years of experience working with loss, crisis and trauma are the foundations of my work. I believe in the human capacity to find meaning through the distress which their life may bring. I have witnessed how individuals face these painful times, and in counselling, have found a way through.
I understand the experience adults may face within the healthcare and legal system, having worked in Medical and Social Work settings, in Ireland and the U.K. Through this I have knowledge of how families are changed through anxiety, addictions, abuse, adoption, domestic violence, ill health, pregnancy difficulties, crime and violence.
I am fully accredited with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Registers in Ireland, namely IACP, IAHIP and ICP.
My Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling is Humanistic and Integrative, with a MSC in Existential Psychotherapy with Tivoli Intitute Dublin and Middlesex University, London. Sensori Motor Psychotherapy and Trauma is at the core of my work.
We live in demanding times, so my ongoing training is integral in how best I meet your needs.
I am a founding member of the Ireland Palestine Mental Health Network.
My additional training includes: EMDR,Irish Hospice Foundation, Womens Aid, Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Men Overcoming, Violence, Tusla Child Protection, Psychosexual Therapy, Brief Solution Therapy, Biosynthesis Somatic Trauma and depth-psychology oriented Psychotherapy, Barnardos Adoption Agency.
