Approach My approach is humanistic integrative and I use a person-centred model which views you the client as the expert in their life. I have experience working with parenting difficulties, disability, relationship difficulties, ageing, stress, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, bereavement and depression. Together we can explore what’s been happening in your life that made you feel the need for support. I work within the ethical framework of the IACP and under The Children First Act (2015) and have Garda clearance.
