Self Esteem Counselling in Cork

I believe in supporting you to lead a more balanced life no matter what experiences you have had or what issues you are currently dealing with. Sometimes stressful or traumatic events can hamper our ability to cope with life’s challenges and leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck and worn out. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, stress or processing trauma past or present, I will support you in your journey to finding your feet again. I have a deep appreciation for the wisdom of the body and tools that support working with instead of against ourselves.

Sometimes we get overwhelmed by life and what life throws at us. Trying to make sense of what is happening can often feel like we are going around in circles. We may feel we are not coping and have little options available to us. I have worked with survivors of intimate partner abuse for many years. During my time working with survivors, I have encountered depression, anxiety, addiction and low self esteem. Relationships are our key to a healthier life, if your relationships with friends and family or work are causing you anxiety, expressing what is going on for you is the first step to freeing yourself from patterns you experience.

I specialise in assisting individuals who have suffered from Narcissistic Abuse, whether it was experienced in a parental or relationship setting. My practice provides confidential, compassionate, and competent support to help you identify specific issues that may be directly related to this type of trauma. Many adult survivors of narcissistic abuse experience feelings of isolation, hyper-vigilance, confusion, low self-esteem, fear of failure, and worthlessness. Whether you were raised by a narcissistic parent or were in a relationship with someone who has NPD personality disorder, I am here to work with you to resolve these issues.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years experience. I provide effective, in-depth interventions to adults and adolescents.

I work with individuals who are looking for counselling during a time in their lives that they feel they want or need support. I understand that we all experience unique events throughout our lives, therefore I adapt my approach to best suit the needs of the individual sitting in front of me.

I am a fully accredited therapist with the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and I hold an honours degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy from CIT/MTU, and a Diploma in Integrative Adolescent Psychotherapy. ​ I work with people experiencing a broad range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

I am a member of WPATH - the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.

From my perspective, psychotherapy means healing. It is the opening, where individuals begin to experience a more full contact with themselves and the outside world. I help them understand their emotions that signpost their needs. I help them to discover their unfulfilled needs and, together, we look for obstacles and barriers that could prevent people from fully enjoying their lives. One step at a time, they become increasingly ready to lead their lives consciously. They begin to authentically live, rather than continue, their lives.

No man is an island! Yet connection with others is not always easy. I work with Adult & Adolescent clients with relationship issues, low self-esteem, social anxiety, depression, stresses of everyday living, may have suffered abuse, bereavement and loss, or had a difficult childhood where their needs were not met. Are you feeling unsettled, overwhelmed or in distress? I help the client explore within themselves to gain clarity, perspective and understanding about themselves and their lives, enabling them to move forward through the blocks in their path to embody a more positive future for themselves.

I have over 15 years training and experience in working with adults, teens and children. I also have specialist training in trauma, anxiety and panic disorders.

I will be with you in the therapeutic relationship helping you to make sense of your experiences, your feelings and behaviours so you can live a more meaningful fulfilling life.

I strongly believe that therapy is your – the client’s - space, at your pace. At the heart of this is the therapeutic relationship, co-created by us and bound by the commitment to safety, non-judgment and confidentiality. For me, therapy is about choice. Each of us and our experience is unique. Our goal will be increasing self-awareness to enable conscious choice-making leading to greater well-being, both within yourself and the World around you.

The Gestalt therapy model that I work within promotes the use of creativity, action and a dynamic appreciation of the client's whole world. Every client has a unique situation and unique reasons for deciding they want to come to therapy. While certain issues may be universal in nature e.g. anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues (including friendships and work colleagues), struggles with self-esteem, long-term or terminal illness, each person's way of coping with them is as unique as their personality and circumstances.

*I am an Accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and I have been in private practice as a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor in Cork since 2005. This form of counselling is most effective when used to assist clients to develop their own personal awareness of themselves and look within to find their own answers. If you are going through a difficult time, feeling depressed, are having difficulties in your relationship or are finding it hard to cope , if you feel you simply need some support and someone to listen to you in a non judgemental way counselling may help.
