I was born in rural Ireland in 1981, and trained as an architect before finding my way to psychotherapy & counselling through an interest in contemplative practice and Eastern philosophy.

 

I have lived in various parts of the world, working an eclectic mix of jobs, from construction sites in Australia, to facilitating English courses for corporate groups in Italy. A somewhat unconventional life path has given me the opportunity to meet and work with a rich diversity of individuals, and an ability to connect with and understand people from different cultural and social backgrounds.

​

I have been living in London since 2011 and practicing psychotherapy & counselling since 2018.
