Qualifications & Experience

Qualification I am a qualified psychotherapist with extensive experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, particularly autistic adults. I hold a recognized qualification in Counselling and Psychotherapy from PCI College, and I have completed specialized training in Autism-Informed Therapy and Working with Adult Autistic Clients.
Experience
2+ years in Psychotherapeutic Counsellor
I am a qualified psychotherapist with nearly eight years of experience supporting autistic adults in both private practice and professional settings. My background includes roles as a Community Support Worker, Coordinator, and Manager in an HSE-funded community service for autistic adults, giving me deep insight into the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent individuals. I specialize in working with autistic clients, as well as those navigating anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. My approach is empathetic, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based therapies, providing a safe and supportive space for growth, self-awareness, and lasting change.
Approach My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe that every individual is unique, and I tailor my work to meet your specific needs, goals, and values. Grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and influenced by person-centered and mindfulness-based techniques, I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with clients to explore challenges, identify patterns, and develop practical tools for growth and resilience. With a focus on neurodivergent individuals, especially autistic adults, I celebrate differences and empower clients to navigate life with confidence. My warm and empathetic approach supports meaningful and lasting change for issues like anxiety, stress, and self-esteem.
