About Me

I am an Irish woman based in London, England working in private practice. I am a qualified Family Therapist, International & Europe Accredited EMDR Consultant (Adult, Child and Adolescent) and Integrative psychotherapist, Supervisor and EMDR Training Facilitator. I work with children, adults,, families and couples across the lifespan. I specialise in attachment informed trauma work and welcome folk from all cultures, identities and backgrounds.

I offer a thoughtful, playful, non-judgemental, culturally sensitive and neurodivergent affirmative practice to allow for a reflective and healing space for individuals, couples, children and families. My collaborative, all inclusive stance is also reflected in my supervision practice.

I have been practising as a psychotherapist for over 20 years. I spent 10 years within the NHS and Social care as a therapist supporting families, Looked After Children, Care leavers and providing training and support to Foster parents, new parents and Adoption Support. For the past ten years I have been in private practice offering specialist trauma informed therapy and supervision.

I provide group supervision to the NHS, CAMHS, School Trusts, Social Care and therapists in private practice online and in-person. I offer online and in- person Intensive EMDR and Intensive trauma informed Couple and family therapy in my London based practice (zone 2).

***I am not currently accepting new referrals for therapy or supervision at this time, 2026***

My aim is to facilitate personal growth and awareness, heal past trauma and it’s impact on the present, eradicate ‘stuckness’, enhance wellbeing, support resolution and promote change
