I offer many years of experience with integrated, evidence-based techniques, in helping clients move on from stress, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse, relationship problems and depression. I teach real-world tools that empower people towards finding clarity, self-acceptance, freedom and peace. I believe that this process should be rewarding, graceful and sometimes even fun! Most of all, therapy should always be about you. The beauty of an integrated, holistic approach is that client and therapist are always fully responding to the needs of the moment.
ABOUT ME
I practice in London, but I can treat people all over the world.
In 2012 I earned my Masters in Counselling Psychology. I had always been fascinated by the human condition - and had not only been a journalist and broadcaster in Ireland and the UK, speaking on emotional health and its intersection with the body - but by that time I had obtained certifications in TAT and EFT and studied many more healing modalities. A Masters degree gave me the academic rigour and scientific foundations to the mind-body connection that had inspired me since before I can remember.
There's nothing like experience, however, to hone one's skills and insights. Sometimes the life patterns that served us so well no longer work, or even start to hurt. Sometimes it's just a tweak to our habits that we need to go merrily on our way, like quitting smoking or making a career decision. I offer the experience of a multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural and multi-level approach to help clients lead happier, healthier, easier lives - in a way that is tailored to each individual, each group.

PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Study after study has confirmed that the foundation for growth is the therapeutic relationship. Each session is an hour and a half so that we can really get into it.
GROUP THERAPY
A shared experience can really help normalise so many things we all go through, and lighten the load. Good conversations in perfect safety, with no judgment, just encouragement.
SEMINARS
I love teaching easy, quick, effective meditation and healing techniques. Science has backed up the power of vagus nerve resetting, energy meridian stimulation and biofeedback. The best way to learn is to experience!

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate," said Carl Jung.
Now we know that 95% of human brain activity is below consciousness. Current psychological practice is growing more and more towards accessing the unconscious through the body. So, with energy therapy, you know when positive change has happened, because you feel it.
