How I can help

Care that begins with listening.

Three areas of practice

A considered space for reflection and growth.

Each service begins with a conversation about what you are looking for and whether my experience and approach are the right fit for you.

Adults & Adolescents

Individual Psychotherapy

A confidential space to understand yourself more deeply.

Psychotherapy for adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity concerns, or simply feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

My psychodynamic approach is grounded in attentive listening and the exploration of the feelings, experiences and patterns that may influence the way you think, feel, relate to others and experience your life.

Therapy offers a confidential and non-judgemental space to talk openly, understand yourself more deeply and find a way forward.

Guidance for Psychologists

Build your professional path in Ireland with greater clarity.

Are you a psychologist trained outside Ireland and considering continuing your professional career here?

I offer guidance to psychologists who want to understand the professional pathway in Ireland, including the recognition and validation of qualifications, professional registration and the requirements and pathways for working in psychotherapy.

Having gone through the process of establishing my own professional path in Ireland, I understand how complex and overwhelming it can feel to navigate a new professional system.

This is a space to help you understand the process, organise your questions, explore your options and gain greater clarity about your next steps.

For Brazilian psychologists

Clinical Supervision

Open notebooks, reading glasses and a lotus flower in warm light

A reflective space for your clinical practice.

Clinical supervision for Brazilian psychologists seeking a space to reflect on their clinical practice, discuss cases and deepen their understanding of the therapeutic process.

My supervision is informed by a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic perspective, with particular attention to clinical listening, the therapeutic relationship, transference and the emotional dynamics that emerge in the work.

Supervision offers a confidential space to think about your clinical work with depth, care and professional responsibility.
