About

If you’re struggling with addiction, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, relationships, gambling or burnout — and you want someone who really gets it, you’ve found the right place.
I’m an APCP-accredited psychotherapist (Master’s in Psychotherapy) with over five years specialising in exactly these issues. I use a lot of approaches — CBT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused work, and whatever else actually helps, so therapy is practical, flexible and built around you.
I’ve worked in residential addiction treatment (MyMove), low-threshold homeless services, and I currently run two gambling support programmes while supervising nine therapists in Nenagh. I know addiction and recovery inside out.
I’m also late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD myself, so I truly understand masking, sensory overload, rejection sensitivity and autistic burnout. Neurodivergent clients regularly say, “Finally I don’t have to explain myself here.”
All my work is 100% online (secure, encrypted, GDPR-compliant).
I deliberately keep slots open so most people can start within a week — no long waiting lists.
