About

I provide psychotherapy for individuals and couples. I work in-person in Cork and online.

You might be dealing with a specific presentation such as depression, OCD or addiction. Or perhaps you are having difficulty in your relationships or struggling to find meaning in day-to-day life. Maybe you have lost a loved one or have recently gotten out of a serious relationship.

In any case, most of my clients, be they individuals or couples, come to me because they feel stuck in some way. My role as a therapist is to facilitate a space in which we can uncover whatever is keeping you stuck and move through that stuckness together.

Experience
4+ years
I have over ten years' experience working in mental health and addiction treatment, across inpatient and outpatient centres, as well as in community-based crisis services. As a psychotherapist, I've worked as a resident therapist at an internationally renowned private psychiatric hospital, working with issues such as addiction, psychiatric illness and complex bereavement.

I now work in private practice with individuals and couples, with everything from the everyday struggles that wear people down to more complex and longstanding difficulties.
Approach Most people who get in touch with me know something isn't right, even if they can't quite put a name to it. It might be anxiety or low mood that's hung around too long, the same argument you keep having with your partner, a loss that's hit harder than you expected, or a habit, like drinking, gambling or scrolling, that's started to feel less like a choice. Or it might simply be a sense of being stuck.

I'm a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with individuals and couples in Cork city and online. Psychodynamic therapy starts from the idea that the problems we struggle with most rarely come from nowhere. The ways we cope, react and relate to others are usually learned for good reasons, often early in life, and they keep running long after they've stopped being useful. Therapy is a chance to notice those patterns, understand where they come from, and loosen their grip.

With couples, the focus is the relationship itself: the arguments that go round in circles, the distance that's crept in, and what each of you is protecting. The aim is to understand what's happening between you, not to decide who's right.

The goal is a clearer understanding of yourself, and more choice in how you respond to the situations that used to overwhelm you.
