Adult psychotherapy offers a confidential space to explore emotional difficulties, life transitions, and patterns that may no longer feel helpful or sustainable. People often come to therapy with a sense that something feels “off” — even if they can’t yet name what that is.
In our work together, we may explore mood, anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem, identity, or experiences from earlier in life that continue to shape the present. Therapy is not about being given answers or solutions, but about developing greater awareness, understanding, and choice in how you relate to yourself and others.
My approach is integrative and client-centred, meaning the work is shaped by your needs, pace, and goals. Sessions aim to provide a safe, reflective space where you can slow down, think, and feel more freely.

Adolescence is a period of significant emotional, relational, and identity development. Therapy with adolescents is attuned to this stage of life and supports young people as they navigate challenges such as emotional regulation, identity questions, peer relationships, family dynamics, and psychosexual development.
Sessions provide a confidential space where adolescents can speak openly and be met without judgement or pressure to “have things figured out.” My work places particular emphasis on not rushing development or meaning-making, and on supporting curiosity, self-awareness, and resilience.
Where appropriate, I also work thoughtfully with parents or guardians, helping to improve understanding and communication while respecting the adolescent’s developmental need for privacy and autonomy.
-
Psychosexual therapy supports individuals and adolescents in exploring difficulties related to sexual wellbeing, intimacy, desire, and identity. This may include concerns such as reduced or fluctuating desire, difficulties with arousal or orgasm, pain during sex, sexual shame, identity questions, or problematic sexual behaviours, including pornography use.
Sexual difficulties are rarely just about sex. They are often connected to stress, relationships, self-esteem, development, past experiences, or the ways we have learned to relate to our bodies and desires. Therapy offers a space to explore these issues with sensitivity, clarity, and care.
My approach is psychosexual, developmentally informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and GSRD-inclusive, ensuring that sexuality and identity are explored without assumption or judgement.
-
Couples and intimate partner therapy supports people in exploring relationship difficulties, communication patterns, intimacy, trust, and connection. Some couples attend therapy during periods of conflict or rupture, while others come because they feel distant, stuck, or uncertain about the future of their relationship.
Sessions focus on understanding relational dynamics rather than assigning blame. We may explore patterns of communication, emotional responsiveness, sexual intimacy, conflict, and the impact of past experiences on the present relationship.
For some couples and intimate partner work, 90-minute sessions are recommended. These allow more time to slow the conversation, ensure both partners feel heard, and work more safely with emotionally charged material.
I work with diverse relationship structures and identities, offering a respectful and inclusive space for relational exploration.
-
Family and parental therapy provides a space for adolescents and their parents or guardians to explore communication difficulties, misunderstandings, and relational strain within the family system. It is particularly helpful during adolescence, when developmental changes can place pressure on family relationships.
Sessions focus on improving understanding, supporting healthier communication, and helping family members recognise each other’s perspectives and needs. The aim is not to assign fault, but to strengthen connection and support more flexible, responsive ways of relating.
Family and parental therapy sessions are used alongside individual adolescent therapy.
Health Insurance Cover
Many clients are able to claim back a portion of therapy fees through their private health insurance, depending on their provider and level of cover. This typically applies to psychotherapy and counselling services, though coverage varies between insurers and individual policies.
I recommend checking directly with your health insurance provider to confirm what is included in your plan and what documentation may be required.
A Note on How I Work
Across all services, my work is guided by the ethical frameworks of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and the College of Sex and Relationship Therapists (COSRT). I place strong emphasis on confidentiality, professional boundaries, ongoing supervision, and continued professional development.
