Counsellor Training and Orientation

I am an Accredited Member of the Irish Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.  (M.I.A.C.P.)

I am passionate about counselling and I am humbled and fascinated by the complexity and resilience of the human spirit. 

I work from an Integrated Humanistic model of counselling.
This means that I incorporate a variety of counselling approaches in my work.

Depending on the issues you want to address and depending on your personality, I use a combination of therapeutic approaches to enable you express and explore your presenting issues.

Some of the theories and counselling styles I use are:

  • Person-Centred Therapy

  • Existential Psychotherapy

  • Gestalt Therapy

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

  • Art and Clay Therapy
