About Therapy with Me

I work with individuals (18+). I provide sessions in person, online (via Zoom) and walk and talk (at an agreed upon location).

What is In Person Counselling and Psychotherapy?

This is face to face sitting together in person in my practice room in Glengarriff or Skibbereen.

What is Online Counselling and Psychotherapy?

This is similar to face to face but conducted via Zoom. Extra time is spent in the first session discussing the session setting to ensure it is private and safe for both of us.

What is Walk and Talk Counselling and Psychotherapy?

This is conducted while walking together outdoors at an agreed upon quiet location. The pace and difficulty of the walk is always slow and easy. This differs to in person and online therapy as we won't be sitting down facing each other. Furthermore, the calming effect of gentle exercise and being in nature can be beneficial to the session. These sessions are weather dependent. 

What is My Counselling and Psychotherapy Approach?

I offer safety, empathy and an unconditional non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. Based off of the relationship, I assure you we will focus on working together in a collaborative way to identify your challenges. We will also work out what it is you would like to get from your sessions. My approach is always neurodiversity, gender, sex, sexuality and identity affirming.

We will address the identified challenges through evidence informed therapies. You can read more about what evidence informed therapy methods I am trained in here. You will always be aware of, and informed about, what is happening in the therapy room.

I believe the only way to know what you want is to ask you, so I consider your feedback and preferences invaluable. This is called a Pluralistic approach, which means therapy will always be done with you not to you.

I am fully Trauma Informed, Somatically Informed and Neuroscience Informed. 

Lastly, I incorporate a Multi-Cultural approach to therapy to ensure I do my best in understanding, and being considerate of, any biological, psychological and social factors influencing or impacting on a person's life.
