Psychotherapy
What to Expect
I hold a BA (Hons) in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy and draw on an integrative, collaborative, attachment-based, trauma-aware, somatically informed, and arts-centred approach.
Each client is unique, so I tailor my work to meet you where you are in life.
I provide a safe and supportive space for expression, where you can explore thoughts and feelings at your own pace and without judgment. Healing begins when we are truly heard and respected.
Through a somatic lens, the more embodied you become, the more you can trust the body’s inner wisdom (always moving toward healing!) and return to a natural flow, reconnecting with your authentic self beneath old survival strategies. We can walk together beyond trauma and stuck patterns to make space for joy.
In-person sessions in Galway, or online sessions from anywhere.
❋ An Art-Centred, Integrative ApproachThe work is art-centred and trauma-informed, drawing from psychodynamic, psychosynthesis, Gestalt, creative CBT, and person-centred approaches — held flexibly, in service of your process.
❋ Held With Care and RespectThese spaces are shaped with comfort, safety, and clear boundaries in mind.
You’re not asked to perform or push past your limits — you’re invited to arrive as you are.
❋ A Gentle, Focused FlowEach experience blends guided moments, open creative exploration, and time to pause.
The structure is light but intentional, always moving gently toward healing.
❋ Connection Comes FirstConnection is a core part of the process.
You’re met in a non-judgemental, relational space, where learning happens not only through the work itself, but through being held.
Support for many of the challenges life can bring:
Abuse (emotional, physical, sexual) · Anxiety · Bereavement · Body-image distress · Bullying & harassment · Depression · Domestic abuse · Emotional distress · Family and parenting stress · Grief & loss · Health anxiety · Identity exploration & sense of self · Life transitions · Loss (job, relationship, identity) · Personal development · Post-traumatic stress · Relationship issues · Self-esteem & confidence · Self-harm & suicidal thoughts · Social anxiety · Stress · Trauma
A space to settle, breathe, and come back to yourself.
The aim becomes not only “fix the thing” but “grow the self”.

“Trauma is not what happens to us.
But what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
