Experience

I have many years’ experience working with the Department of Education and Skills in schools, third level colleges and education centres in Ireland, developing and managing health education, guidance counselling and well-being programmes.  I have worked with both children and adults in different contexts and offer individual consultation, training and seminars.  My teaching style is experiential and discursive, and I am skilled in creating a safe, supportive, deeply engaging learning environment where meaningful reflection occurs.

​

Psychotherapy and Personal Counselling:

I also maintain a clinical practice and offer individual appointments to adults seeking confidential counselling and psychotherapy for a wide range of issues including anxiety, addiction, abuse, relationships, sexuality, parenting, bereavement and loss. 

​

Commitment:

I am committed to offering an integrated holistic approach to Wellbeing Education and offer a range of tailor made services to meet your individual/collective requirements.
