Integrative Counsellor + Trainer
(she/her)

 

I am a Queer ,Irish, Integrative Counsellor and Trainer. I can offer a safe and non-judgmental space for us to explore what is troubling you.

I work with people aged 18+ from all backgrounds and identities and I offer sessions both online and in-person

​

I offer LGBTQIA+ Affirmative therapy:

It is incredibly important to have access to a space where your identity does not have to be justified or explained.  I welcome clients from all abilities, backgrounds and identities, especially those from the LGBTQ+ community. I like to work in an intersectional way, which means looking at the many systems that impact our lives, or how internalised oppression may play out in our day to day lives (e.g internalised homophobia). 

I understand that when in crisis, we should be treated with compassion, rather than judgement.  I believe in social justice, and that everyone should have access to help when they need it. I value transparent, direct and authentic communication, so I encourage clients to let me know if I have got something wrong. 

 

 I am committed to continued Anti Racist work and I acknowledge that the onus is on me to educate myself about client's intersectional identities. I believe that social transformation can have a direct effect on mental health.
