Counselling & Psychotherapy
Person-centred therapy in Cork, Ireland
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, carrying trauma from the past, struggling with anxiety, or simply sensing that something isn't quite right, it can be hard to know where to start.
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist and work Sunday mornings from the Cork Healing Centre in Blarney. I offer a calm, grounded, relaxed space where there is room for both the serious and shared laughter. An opportunity to begin exploring things at your own pace, without pressure to explain everything or find the right words.
My work is grounded in kindness, curiosity, and a deep respect for how we learn to cope with difficult and overwhelming experiences.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if trust has been difficult or things have felt hard to put into words. There is no expectation to arrive with clarity or readiness. We take this one step at a time, at a pace that feels manageable for you.
What I can help with
My work is deeply relational and trauma-informed, rooted in kindness and curiosity. I draw on approaches such as Internal Family Systems, attachment-based work, Gestalt, DBT, brain-based theories, somatic experiencing and Polyvagal theory to understand how the mind, body, and nervous system adapt to survive pain.
At its core, my work is about connection. I support a process of exploration, stabilisation, healing and inner reconnection—where nothing has to be pushed away or explained before it’s ready. Whether you come in with years of unspoken trauma, a sense of being stuck, or no words at all, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are.
