About

Since 2009, I have worked within addiction services in Ireland, supporting clients in both residential and community-based settings as a facilitator and counsellor. My journey began with a full-time diploma in counselling with Addiction, completed in 2010, followed by an honours degree in counselling and psychotherapy, and later a Masters in Addiction Counselling. Throughout my working life, I have provided care and support across residential mental health care, specialist refuges for women affected by domestic violence, and most recently services for children and adolescents experiencing addiction and related challenges.

My passion lies in mental health awareness and addiction recovery, and I am deeply committed to trauma-informed, client-centred care. I strive to create a safe space for each person’s individual journey, grounded in evidence-based methods and authentic empathy. Alongside traditional therapy, I offer a unique integrative approach by incorporating physical wellness into recovery work, drawing on my qualifications as a personal trainer and fitness instructor. For those who enjoy it, I combine physical activity and therapeutic support to help clients build resilience and strength body and mind.

I also serve as a facilitator on the CHOICES programme, working with male perpetrators of domestic violence to support meaningful behavioural change. This intervention uses group and individual sessions to foster accountability, emotional regulation, and safe relationship skills, aiming to help build safer families and communities through a strengths-based, cognitive-behavioural approach.

Breaking down stigma and promoting holistic wellbeing have always driven my practice. I am passionate about supporting people of all ages to overcome barriers and experience transformative growth. If you or your loved ones are seeking effective, holistic addiction and mental health support, I offer a space where real change is possible.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

LOCAL CARE CONTEXT

Why local healthcare in Online matters

Medical practice in Ireland is governed by country-specific licensing, professional standards, and patient-safety regulations. Practitioners listed here are registered with the relevant Ireland medical authority and operate within national rules on scope of practice, prescribing rights, and continuing professional development. Care delivered in Online carries the additional benefits of local language support, in-person follow-up, and direct coordination with regional hospitals and labs. A verified profile means EuroClinics has cross-checked the practitioner or clinic against an official source (national medical register, public licence database, or the practitioner themselves), and that the data shown here matches that source as of the last verification date above.
