Overview

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with approximately 15 years’ experience in a range of settings within the public health service in the UK and Ireland, including Community Mental Health Teams, inpatient psychiatric and eating disorder units, and a personality disorder service.

Currently, I work as an Associate of the Irish Centre for CFT and in independent practice. The latter involves providing psychological therapy to a diverse client group that includes elite athletes and people who experience significant stress or traumatic response in relation to their professional roles.

Most of my roles have involved providing ad hoc psychological consultation and/or ongoing supervision to mental health professionals including Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Psychologists in Training, Psychiatrists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers, Community Mental Health Nurses and Healthcare Assistants. I have established reflective practice groups on inpatient units, designed and delivered team formulation sessions in multi-disciplinary teams, and set up Personal & Professional Development groups for psychologists in training. I am now able to offer clinical supervision in a private practice setting – either online or in person in Dublin. I would be delighted to hear from you if you are interested in discussing your supervision needs.
