Experience10++ years in Psychotherapy
In 2019, I established ‘Ceartig Therapies’ as a creative therapeutic service where children, young people, and parents can make use of resources provided to work on vulnerabilities, alleviate stresses, and grow emotional strength. Since then, I have continued to add to my training and professional knowledge to improve my practice and to cater for neurodivergent individuals, and clients of all ages.
Adults may choose either in-person or online Integrative Psychotherapy. For teens, I offer Creative Counselling or Expressive Arts Therapy, and I provide Play Therapy for primary-school children.
I'm a graduate member of PSI (The Psychological Society of Ireland) and an accredited psychotherapist with APCP (Association of Professional Counsellors and Psychotherapists in Ireland). As a member of these professional organizations, I conscientiously uphold the ethical principles set out by each, ensuring that my professional practice aligns with the highest standards of confidentiality and client well-being in all my interactions.
Approach As a neurodivergent individual myself, I work with neurodivergent clients because I deeply understand sensory profiles, environmental impacts, and the lived experience of navigating a world not built for our nervous systems. I offer attuned, neuro‑affirming support that honours each person’s unique way of being. For children, I provide Play Therapy; for teens, Creative Counselling; and for adults, a collaborative process. Drawing from diverse therapeutic modalities, I tailor each session to your unique needs, helping you make sense of your experiences and move toward meaningful change.
