Clinical Psychologist for Children, Adolescents & Adults | EMDR Therapy in Dublin Wicklow Kildare, online Ireland

How I Can Help

Life experiences — big and small — shape how we feel, think, relate and cope. If you or your child feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or reactive, therapy can help.

I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist providing evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy for children, adolescents, and adults in Blessington, Co Wicklow and online.

I am trained in EMDR therapy for both adults and young people, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) have experience supporting people recover from trauma and a wide range of emotional difficulties.

You don’t need to have experienced a “major trauma” to benefit from support. If something continues to affect you, it matters.

Therapy for Children & Adolescents

I have extensive experience working with adolescents and their families, supporting young people with:

Anxiety and school refusal
Phobia
Social anxiety
Emotional dysregulation
Bullying experiences
Family conflict
Low self-esteem and mood
Trauma and distressing experiences, including single, developmental, and vicarious trauma

Therapy for young people is developmentally adapted and may include creative, structured or EMDR-based approaches. Where appropriate, parents and caregivers are supported as part of the process.

Therapy for Adults

I work with adults experiencing:

Single incident trauma
Phobia
Anxiety and panic
Childhood trauma
Relationship trauma
Birth trauma
Medical trauma
Workplace stress and burnout
Perfectionism and people-pleasing
Persistent negative beliefs (“I’m not good enough”, “I’m not safe”)

Many long-standing patterns have roots in earlier experiences that the nervous system has not fully processed. EMDR therapy can help address these experiences at their source.

Trauma-Informed, Neuroaffirmative Psychology

My practice is warm, collaborative and grounded in evidence-based treatment.

As a neuroaffirmative psychologist, I recognise neurodivergence, as natural variations in human development. Therapy is adapted to suit individual sensory, cognitive and emotional needs.

This may include:

Adjusting pace and structure
Supporting regulation skills
Incorporating visual or concrete strategies
Working systemically with families

My aim is not to “fix” who you are, but to reduce distress, increase safety, and support you to move towards your goals.

Evidence-Based Psychological Therapy

As a Senior Clinical Psychologist, I draw on research-supported treatments recommended in international clinical guidelines. I have further training in EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), as well as cognitive and neurodevelopment assessment.
