Female Counselling in Blackrock, DN

Finding the right therapist is daunting. Don't let the darkness swallow you. Reach out, you will be surprised how much talking to someone can be a transformative experience. Therapy by its nature, should be non-judgemental, empathic and warm. This is how I practice.

I have a particular interest in childhood emotional neglect and developmental trauma. With the right support, deep wounds from childhood can heal.

People seek psychotherapy and counselling for different reasons. They may be in need of emotional and psychological support to help them through a time of crisis; they may feel stuck with some aspect of their life that they want to change; they may be carrying wounds from old life experiences that are continuing to cause pain; or they may simply want to become a better version of themselves. I offer a confidential, supported space where you can explore whatever it is that you need help with.
