Training & Accreditation

I am a supervisor, individual and relationship psychotherapist, and an accredited member of the IACP.  Initially studying in psychology and addiction studies, I have specialised training in the areas of trauma, attachment and psychosexual therapy. I am currently completing my training as a shamanic practitioner.

As co-founder and clinical director of Insight Matters therapy centre in Dublin, I’m truly honoured to lead and support our incredible team of over 100 dedicated therapists. Our centre, established 14 years ago, was born out of my lifelong passion for mental health advocacy and support.

At Insight Matters, we believe in the power of connection and the therapeutic relationship to foster growth and healing. I’m grateful to have brought together a team that shares my vision of providing compassionate and holistic care, where every client feels valued and supported on their journey towards emotional resilience and self-awareness.  Together we have cultivated an environment of empathy, understanding and acceptance, ensuring that our clients receive the highest quality care.



Approach

As a holistic shamanic psychotherapist and supervisor, I am dedicated to nurturing individuals on their path to mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I have a deep commitment to inclusivity, and honour the unique experiences of those who identify as LGBTQI+ and those exploring gender and sexual diversity, as well as individuals navigating non-traditional, polyamorous and open relationships. In this supportive, affirming environment, clients can delve into their distinct experiences and work towards inner and relational healing.

My training in trauma, attachment, psychosexual therapy and somatic practice has provided me with the tools and understanding needed to create a compassionate space for clients to explore their unique paths. My love for personal growth has led me to immerse myself in the ancient wisdom of shamanic healing practices, a holistic approach that focuses on spiritual and energetic connections to cultivate balance and wholeness.

Shamanic healing, rooted in diverse indigenous traditions, invites individuals to reconnect with their inner wisdom and innate ability to heal. By addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of well-being, clients are empowered on their journey towards a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

In blending traditional psychotherapy with the profound insights of shamanic healing, I offer a transformative and integrative approach that nourishes mind, body, and spirit.



Experience & Areas of Interest

Relationship Psychotherapist  I am a relationship therapist, with special interest in consensual non-monogamy, polyamory and open relationships.  I’m committed to fostering meaningful connections and providing guidance for those navigating the complexities of modern love. Together, we can explore challenges, enhance communication, and deepen intimacy, celebrating the unique beauty of diverse connections.

Shamanic Practitioner: I connect the realms of spirit and healing, drawing upon ancient wisdom to support personal transformation. By nurturing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, I facilitate a holistic journey towards balance and wholeness for individuals seeking deeper meaning and connection in their lives.

Supervision

Therapists & trainee psychotherapists: With a focus on diversity and personal growth, I foster a supportive environment for therapists to develop their skills to become more reflective and inclusive practitioners, while providing affirming and inclusive care to their clients. 

Professionals: I also provide personalised supervision services to professionals in diverse sectors, such as corporations, non-governmental organisations, defence forces, prisons and security services. My goal is to enhance individual well-being and performance by fostering a supportive environment centred on collaboration and continuous growth.  Through open communication and reflection, clients have the opportunity to share their experiences and develop innovative solutions to enrich their work.

Group Supervision: I provide professional group supervision for therapists, NGOs and corporate entities seeking to enhance their skills and organisational well-being. With a focus on collaborative learning and growth, my supervision approach promotes reflective practice and fosters a supportive environment for continuous professional development and improvement.
