About

I am a clinical psychologist and practising professional for whom psychology is not simply a profession, but an important and deeply valued part of my life. I genuinely love my work and especially appreciate seeing positive changes in my clients’ lives: when anxiety and inner tension decrease, when they gain greater confidence and self-understanding, and begin to feel that they can cope with the difficulties they are facing.

In my practice, I work with anxiety, panic attacks, stress, emotional burnout, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, the effects of traumatic experiences, and other emotional challenges.

A particular area of my work is sexology and sexual wellbeing. Clients are welcome to discuss personal and sensitive issues related to sexuality, sexual difficulties, concerns, fears, self-esteem, and their relationship with their own body. Interpersonal relationships are also an important focus of my work — how we build intimacy, develop trust, communicate, experience loneliness, conflict or rejection, and learn to understand ourselves better in our relationships with others.

In my work, I aim to create a calm, warm and safe space where clients can speak openly without fear of judgement. Respect, confidentiality, acceptance and an individual approach are very important to me. I do not believe that there is one universal way to help everyone, so I focus first and foremost on the individual person, their story, their needs and their life circumstances.

By nature, I am an optimistic person and I believe in the possibility of positive change. At the same time, I do not see therapy as a promise that everything will become perfect quickly. I see it as a collaborative process in which a person can gradually understand themselves better, discover their inner resources and begin to change what is preventing them from living a fuller and more satisfying life.

I approach my profession with great responsibility, warmth and care. It is important to me that the person sitting with me feels that they are truly heard, that their experiences matter, and that they have a space where they can simply be themselves.

Qualifications & Experience

Qualification I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. My qualification has been officially compared in Ireland through QQI/NARIC and corresponds to Level 9 of the Irish National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ Level 9).

In addition to my academic education in Clinical Psychology, I am committed to continuous professional development and further training. I have completed additional professional training in sexology and sexopathology, which has expanded my knowledge and skills in working with sexuality, sexual wellbeing, intimate relationships, and various sexual concerns and difficulties.

I have also completed specialised training in psychological trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the foundations of trauma therapy, the psychology of stress, emotional needs, and crisis psychological counselling.

An important part of my professional training has been preparation for and work on a psychological crisis support helpline. This included training in supporting people experiencing a wide range of difficult emotional and crisis situations, as well as developing skills in active listening, crisis communication, and psychological support.

I consider continuous professional development an essential part of my work as a psychologist, and I continue to expand my professional knowledge and practical skills through further training, professional literature, and supervision.
Experience
5+ years in Clinical Psychology
My professional experience in psychology spans approximately five years. I began working with clients while I was still a student, gradually combining my academic knowledge with practical experience in psychological support and counselling.

Over the years, I have gained diverse experience in individual psychological counselling. I work with clients both online and in person, supporting people with anxiety, stress, emotional burnout, low self-esteem, interpersonal difficulties, the effects of traumatic experiences, and other emotional challenges. A particular area of my work is sexology and sexual wellbeing, including various difficulties and concerns related to sexuality and intimate life.

An especially important part of my professional experience has been my work on a psychological and crisis support helpline. This role has given me experience with a wide range of situations and emotional states, from anxiety, fear, loneliness, and emotional exhaustion to acute crisis situations. It has taught me how to establish rapport quickly, listen attentively, remain calm in difficult circumstances, and find an individual approach to each person seeking support.

In my work, I aim to combine professional knowledge with empathy, respect, and careful attention to each person’s individual story. It is important to me to create a safe and accepting space where clients can speak openly about difficult and deeply personal issues and gradually move towards positive change.
Approach In my work, I use an integrative and multimodal approach. It is important for me to see each client as a unique individual, so I do not limit myself to one method. Instead, I select tools and techniques according to each person’s individual needs, personality, and current life situation.

In my work, I may use elements from different psychological approaches, psychological tests and questionnaires, practical techniques, self-reflection exercises, and methods focused on emotions, thoughts, and behaviour. My aim is not simply to work with a particular symptom or problem, but to help clients better understand themselves, their reactions, needs, and relationships with others.

I pay particular attention to anxiety, self-esteem, emotional burnout, stress, interpersonal and intimate relationships, as well as sexuality and sexual wellbeing.

I aim to create a warm, accepting, and safe space where clients can speak openly, even about difficult and deeply personal issues, without fear of judgement. The pace and methods of our work are tailored individually to each client’s needs and goals.
