About Me

I didn’t take a straight path to becoming a psychotherapist. My first career was in environmental science and engineering, working in the corporate world and on projects both in Ireland and overseas. Living and working abroad gave me the opportunity to experience different cultures, people and ways of life, while my professional background gave me a real understanding of the pressures and expectations that can come with working life. I think all of those experiences have shaped who I am as a therapist and given me an appreciation for the many different directions a life can take.

I’m naturally curious about people and the stories that shape who we become. I bring warmth, openness and a sense of humour to my work, and I hope therapy with me feels like a place where you can be yourself, without needing to have the right words or know where to begin.

My Professional Journey

Science & Engineering

My first career path was in science and engineering. I studied Applied Science at the University of Aberdeen, followed by postgraduate Master degrees in Applied Environmental Science at University College Dublin and Environmental Engineering at Trinity College Dublin.

Coaching & Personal Development

My career gradually evolved from the corporate world towards working more directly with people. I trained as a Certified Professional Coach with the Co-Active Training Institute and began working in life coaching, personal development and leadership. During this time, I also worked with young people involved in the justice system, delivering workshops focused on self-development, confidence and leadership.

Psychotherapy

That growing interest in people and the experiences that shape us eventually led me to psychotherapy. I completed an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy in Dublin Counselling & Therapy Centre and later a Diploma in Adolescent Psychotherapy at the Greenane Centre, and I am now an accredited psychotherapist with IAHIP, the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapists.
