My Personal Story
I decided to pursue over a decade of studies to try understand people and life more deeply because the area I struggled in life with the most was, you guessed it - love and relationships! I knew I was not alone and had a burning desire to share what I learned so I could help other people avoid the pain I went through to understand myself and others in quick time. Combining my work with hundreds of you over the years along with my personal experiences and my studies on love I have come to realise
we all struggle to live lovingly and be in harmony with self, others and all of life. But the funny part is, we can harbour judgement or shame when we feel we can’t seem to “get it right”, even though most of us have received no training on the ‘how to’ of healthy relating. The best we had were our parents as teachers and their inherited traumas.
There are very few areas of life where one is expected to succeed without education or training. In school or at work if we need to up-skill we invest in training to become successful. In the absence of any real life skills or relationship education many people can feel stuck, not knowing how to free themselves from repeating negative relational patterns. For this reason and many others I decided to combine my background in psychology, counselling, coaching and education to offer a safe, confidential, professional environment in which learning, change and personal growth can occur.
The approach I take to healthy relational dynamics is education and practice. To break free from outdated patterns that no longer serve you I use EFT-tapping to help bring you home to a love that is our true nature.
The goal of my work is to help you if you know there’s another level for you, and you want the tools to get there. I help you achieve the core confidence that enables you to take action in your life to achieve the love you deserve. I run a private practice as well as working with Mental Health groups, agencies including the HSE, Department of Education and private organisations.
