Mission

I'm an Art Psychotherapist and Integrative Counsellor registered with the IACP, providing art psychotherapy for adults in Dublin and online. I specialise in working with trauma, including complex trauma, PTSD, childhood trauma, and the long-term effects of difficult life experiences. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship difficulties, neurodivergence, life transitions, and other emotional challenges.

 

Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to make sense of experiences that feel overwhelming, fragmented, or difficult to put into words. Art psychotherapy creates another way of working with those experiences, using creativity alongside conversation to explore emotions, memories, thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that can be difficult to access through talking alone. No artistic ability or previous experience is needed.

 

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in trauma-exposed settings including Trust & Safety, suicide crisis intervention, capital defence in the United States, and supporting women leaving prison. These roles gave me a deep appreciation of the many ways trauma, chronic stress, loss, and adversity shape people's lives. They continue to inform the way I work today, helping me meet clients with curiosity, compassion, and an understanding that every person's story is unique.

 

My approach is integrative, meaning I tailor therapy to the individual rather than following a single model. I draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on what is most helpful for you, while art psychotherapy remains the foundation of my practice. Together, we work at a pace that feels manageable, with your readiness, goals, and needs guiding the process.

 

My training includes a BA in Psychology, an MA in Forensic and Legal Psychology, and a BA in Integrative Counselling and Creative Art Psychotherapy. I'm ASIST certified and regularly undertake continuing professional development to ensure my practice remains informed by current research and best practice.

 

I offer one-to-one art psychotherapy sessions in Terenure, Dublin, and online for clients throughout Ireland and internationally. I also facilitate therapeutic art workshops, both on demand and as scheduled events, and create downloadable wellbeing resources. As a fluent Irish speaker, I'm happy to work with clients in either Irish or English.

 

Whether you're looking for an art psychotherapist in Dublin, support with trauma, anxiety, grief, or a creative therapeutic approach that goes beyond talking alone, my aim is to provide a safe, collaborative space where you can explore whatever has brought you to therapy.
