My name is Eileen and let me tell you a little about myself:

My road to counselling and psychotherapy has been interesting.  Having worked in a caring profession, nursing for over 30 years, I was always at my happiest when interacting with my patients & I have always been a people person.

Having experienced a rather challenging period in my personal life a few years ago and realized then that I needed to change my circumstances. I took early retirement from my Nursing Career in 2015. I trained as a professional Life Coach with the Irish Life Coach Institute (https://www.ili.ie/). This proved to be a life-changing experience for me. I then trained as a Psychotherapist at PCI College in Dublin (http://www.pcicollege.ie/).

I am very passionate about emotional health and my mission is to make a difference, one person at a time. In my work as a psychotherapist & life coach, I offer a space for you, and I find that people don’t come here to meet me, but to meet themselves. I will provide a space where you won’t be judged, shamed, directed or corrected.

I provide psychotherapy for those who are experiencing a life threatening illness, end of life events, or going through this with a loved one. I also work with individuals and couples who are experiencing bereavement and going through their grief process either following the death of a loved one, or in anticipation of the loss of a loved one. Anticipatory grief is a less appreciated phase of saying good-by, wherein the person anticipating the loss has needs which need attention and support as well. I utilize a mindfulness self-compassion based approach, and work with a therapy dog to facilitate the process.

People seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Sometimes it’s an overwhelming sense of loneliness or lack of direction. Often it’s a result of major life changes, loss, psychological injuries, or specific issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, or grief. I offer a private, safe, and confidential environment for you to explore your concerns, find relief and to bring joy and passion back into your life. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of self-discovery, healing and wellness!
