Find quick answers to common questions about my therapy services, approach, and what to expect.

  • Counselling and Psychotherapy are terms used to describe the process of speaking about things that are difficult with someone who is qualified. Counselling is often thought of as short term work and Psychotherapy as longer term work. I am qualified, skilled and experienced as both a counsellor and psychotherapist.

  • Therapy can support you through a wide range of challenges, whether you're navigating personal struggles, relationship issues, or life transitions. Some of the areas where therapy can be particularly helpful include:

    • Depression

    • Anxiety

    • Stress

    • Panic Attacks

    • Workplace Pressure

    • Grief and Loss

    • Suicidal Thoughts

    • Relationship Challenges (including communication issues, conflict, and intimacy struggles)

    • Low Self-Esteem

    • Trauma

    • Self-Harm

    • Abuse (current or past)

    • Coping with Illness

    • Struggling with Conflict

    • LGBTQIA+ Identity and Relationship Issues (including coming out, discrimination, and navigating unique challenges within relationships).

    • Navigating Relationship Dynamics (binary and non-binary).

    This list is not exhaustive. Ultimately, you are the best judge of your own needs. If you're finding it difficult to cope or feel that life isn't offering the fulfillment you deserve, therapy can offer the support you need to move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

  • I am a Pre-Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with the IACP, the largest professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Ireland. I adhere to their Ethical Framework in my practice.

  • Most sessions take place in person. However, I also offer online sessions through Zoom and WhatsApp Video.

  • The duration of counselling depends on your individual needs. Some people attend for a short period, such as 6–8 sessions, while others prefer longer-term support. You are in control of how long you attend. Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, or monthly—whatever works best for you.

  • €65 for an hour individual session

    €100 for a 90-minute couples therapy session

    Concession rates are available for those not in full-time employment.

  • I offer sessions Monday through Friday and will do my best to accommodate a time that suits your schedule.

  • Consistency is vital in therapy, so I reserve a dedicated weekly slot for each client. This ensures your time is protected and unavailable to others. My cancellation policy supports this commitment.

    If you need to cancel a session, please note that cancellations are accepted up to 48 hours prior to the appointed time. Cancellations after this time are chargeable at the normal rate.

  • I aim to schedule your first session within a week of your initial inquiry. If immediate availability is limited, I’ll do my best to offer you the earliest possible appointment.

  • All that you share in counselling is confidential. However, I am legally required to attend supervision once a month. This supervision ensures I am working ethically and in your best interests. While I may discuss aspects of our work with my supervisor, they are also bound by strict confidentiality and will not share your information.
    There are also some addition limits to confidentiality, which I’ll be happy to explain in more detail in the initial session.

  • My privacy policy, which outlines how your information is handled, is an integral part of our contract and will be discussed during the initial session.
