As a highly sensitive psychotherapist, I’ve walked the walk of sensitivity and struggle, of striving to find a way of life that honours my sensitive needs, all while letting go of the shame and perfectionism when this looks and feels different to the norm. Just as I’ve come to understand and accept myself, and to embrace my unique traits and strengths, I will help you to do the same.

My undergraduate degree in Psychology is from University College Dublin after which I completed a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology at University of Wales, Bangor. Following some years of working in the field of mental health, I trained in Counselling and Psychotherapy at IICP College. I am a fully accredited Psychotherapist (Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and founded my own private practice 7 years ago.

I completed a Diploma in Therapy Training & Education and have also lectured for trainee and graduate psychotherapists and psychologists in Trinity College Dublin, Dublin City University, and IICP College. I was also an Editor while on the Editorial Committee for the Irish Journal of Counselling & Psychotherapy for a number of years.  My skill for creating and developing both individualised programmes and the courses within the Sensitively School are based upon my lecturing, facilitating, and editorial  experiences, as well as over 15 years working in mental health in both community projects and organisations such as St. John of God.
