Feeling heard and understood by a caring and competent therapist can help us learn to listen and understand ourselves better at times of crisis and transition. Therapy can help us access more inner clarity, creativity and compassion to face what comes our way. I am an accredited counselor and psychotherapy based in Galway for over 20 years. I offer both short-term counselling and open-ended psychotherapy to adults concerned about their mental health or simply wanting to find a firmer footing in their lives

I am a qualified psychotherapist with a B.A. in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work with individuals aged 18 years and over, providing a professional, confidential service. I believe that the unique relationship between the therapist and client is key to the success of therapy as the relationship facilitates the trusting environment within which a client's concerns can be shared, explored, and addressed. My approach is Humanistic and Integrative, Person-Centred with elements of CBT and Mindfulness. I cover all areas of general counseling including stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression.

I work with clients in times of change, grief and crisis who may be feeling depressed, anxious or stressed. Together we explore and develop insights into what the client is doing, why they are doing it and what the need is behind it, then find more fruitful ways to do it. Often this involves identifying behaviours, beliefs, and attitudes from the past and how they are experienced in the present.

You may be looking for some sort of change in your life. That change could be physical or emotional. My work is based on the belief that if we want to create change in our lives, we must look within. To find out who we really are, we need to go inwards, challenge old beliefs, thoughts and behaviours, which can feel like moving away from everything we’ve ever known. I help my clients to see the connections between mind and body, to identify unhelpful patterns, establish new habits and ultimately live a happier life.

I have been privileged to have sat with many people over the last number of years. It has been my honour to witness them as they open up and explore the established beliefs, judgments and criticisms that have been causing them distress. Seeing them form new, accepting relationships with themselves and integrate a sense of self-compassion and understanding is something that I will always be grateful for. Peace Inside aims to expand this work as our team supports our clients, and each other, towards the fulfilment of our client’s identified goals.

I'm here to give you tools and resources to help you live better. As a licensed therapist, my job is to provide 2 services: Help you resolve an immediate problem, e.g., a relationship break-up or a life transition - such as becoming an expat. The second service - sometimes the more important service - is to help you learn how, what to do and why this challenge was presented to you. My job is to work myself out of a job because I helped you improve your like skill level and increased your knowledge of yourself.

Our mental health is closely linked to the way we relate to ourselves and to others. It is therefore extremely important to work on the source of our distress, to make the effort to examine it, to understand its cause and thus to find our own tools for dealing with it. Personal and professional development involves hard and deep work that allows us to understand our unique way of dealing with daily challenges. My commitment is to accompany you on this journey, respecting your beliefs, validating your choices and revealing your contradictions.

My aim in therapy is to connect with the person, allowing them to feel safe and heard, supporting them to make sense of their lives. I provide a calm and comfortable space for people to explore their difficulties, using evidence-based theory to structure and support their emerging story. This allows us to work together to gently and safely unravel tangled elements of the past, freeing the person to move forward into the future they see for themselves.
