Welcome
Thanks for visiting my website.
Whilst I've tried to make this website helpful by including information about me and my counselling, counselling and counsellors in general, and some valuable links, references, and resources, I have also tried to make it easily accessible and brief. I hope that I got the balance right for you and that you find this website useful. However, if you would like to know more you can contact me via this website, by email, or call 085 147 30 40. I provide counselling in Kilkenny City at 4 Watergate and I provide counselling in Carlow in New Oak Community Centre and Teach Bhride in Tullow. I counsel individuals one-to-one and I counsel couples.
My journey in counselling began in 1998. From my experiences and research, I have found that the key to success in counselling is to find the right therapist: a therapist who will accept you for who or how you are; a therapist who will warmly encourage you to say what you need to say; and a therapist with whom you can bond, safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, and get to know the real you.
I'll provide you a comfortable and safe space to explore that which may be troubling or confusing you, to gain insight and support, and to discover a way forward.

About Me
