About

“As you live deeper in the heart, the mirror gets clearer and cleaner.”

Rumi

I’m a double Chartered Psychologist who helps people and teams in emotionally demanding roles to thrive.

Blendiing psychological insight with practical, down-to-earth support, and bringing both systemic awareness and organisational psychology to everything I do.

I began my career in residential childcare, where I saw first-hand how much reflexive support can change things. In the twenty-plus years since, I’ve worked with frontline professionals, senior leaders and teams across health, education, justice and business, as a supervisor, psychotherapist, coach and organisational consultant in Ireland and the UK. I’ve also designed and delivered training on supervision, leadership, wellbeing and team dynamics, and lectured at Master’s level in Ireland and Saudi Arabia.

What I offer

  • Supervision for practitioners, managers and leaders, including supervision for supervisors
  • Coaching for leaders and professionals in demanding roles or times of change
  • Psychotherapy for private clients
  • Training and workshops on supervision, leadership, wellbeing and team dynamics, built around your people and the pressures they face

Who I work with

Most of my work is with organisations and the people in them, mainly in health, education and social care. It’s work that takes a lot out of you emotionally, and there’s rarely time to stop and make sense of it. With a background in both psychotherapy and organisational psychology, I can help with the person and the pressures of the workplace around them.

  • Frontline staff, managers and senior leaders
  • Organisations interested in supporting staff in a systemic way
  • Supervisors looking for a restorative approach to their own supervision practice
  • Private clients going through a change, or noticing a pattern that keeps showing up in life or work

My background

My PhD at Dublin City University explored how broken trust between leaders and followers affects a person’s thinking, feelings, motivation and behaviour. It drew on both my psychotherapy and organisational psychology backgrounds, and added to what psychology knows about trust breach in the workplace.

  • Chartered Psychologist in Work & Organisational Psychology and Specialism in Psychotherapy
  • BPS-accredited Certificate in Clinical Supervision
  • Accredited coach and supervisor, European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC)

I believe that when people have time, attention and care to think things through, things get clearer, heavier things feel lighter, and change becomes possible.

My Approach

Whether we’re working together in supervision, coaching, therapy or training, my approach is the same. I give you time, attention and a respectful, confidential space to think things through at your own pace. I look at the bigger picture of your work and relationships, not just the problem in front of you, and I help you find clarity and strength. My approach is grounded in psychology and shaped by considerable experience, and my aim is to help you pause, reconnect with what matters, and grow, with compassion and care.

What you can expect

  • Time to think. There’s no rush, and you set the pace.
  • Compassion and honesty. I offer compassion and I’m straightforward with you, and we’ll turn insight into things you can use in your work and life.
  • A wider view. I look at you as a whole person, alongside the team, the organisation and the pressures around you.
  • Confidentiality. What you share stays between us, within the limits of professional and ethical guidelines.

My approach is reflective, relational and systemic. In plain terms, I pay attention to your thoughts and feelings, to the relationships that matter to you, and to the system you work in.

My Special Interest

My special interest is supporting the people who support others. Most of my work is with organisations and the people in them, mainly in health, education and social care. It’s work that takes a lot out of you emotionally, the problems are rarely simple, and there’s little time to stop and make sense of it all. With a background in both psychotherapy and organisational psychology, I can work with the person and with the pressures of the workplace around them.

For organisations

Organisations come to me when they want to look after and develop their staff. I design training programmes and workshops on supervision, leadership, wellbeing and team dynamics, and I run reflective sessions for frontline staff, operational teams and senior leaders. Everything is built around your people and the pressures they face, so it fits the way your organisation really works.

  • Training and workshops for teams, managers and leaders
  • Supervision and reflective practice for frontline and operational staff
  • Coaching for senior leaders carrying complex decisions
  • Support for teams under strain

For individuals

People come to me when they’re stretched thin, facing a tough life event, or noticing that the job is starting to cost them more than it should. Together we make time to step back, understand what’s going on, and work out how to keep going in a way that works for you, with compassion and honesty.

For supervisors

Supervisors give a lot of themselves to others, and few have somewhere to think through their own practice. Many of my clients are supervisors looking for a restorative approach to supervision, where they can reflect on difficult cases and conversations, strengthen their practice, and look after themselves while supporting others.

Private clients

I also see private clients for psychotherapy and coaching. You might be going through a change, struggling with something personal, or noticing a pattern that keeps showing up in your life or work. I bring compassion and care to helping you understand what’s going on and work out what to do next.

Whether you’re a practitioner, a supervisor, a leader or a team, my aim is the same: to give the people who support others the time, understanding and compassion to look after themselves too.

Supervision

A reflective, restorative and relational space to build insight, restoration, and growth—supporting personal development, and emotionally attuned practice through a systemic lens.

Supervision

My Supervision Philosophy

Restorative Workplace Supervision is a collaborative and relational space where insight, self-awareness, and growth are nurtured. Grounded in systemic thinking and the Seven-Eyed Model, my approach integrates emotional and professional experiences to support reflective, restorative, and compassionate practice. Restorative Workplace Supervision offers containment – making space for exploration of complexity, building resilience, and growth, through curiosity, compassion, and care.

Supervision for Supervisors

Supervising others is demanding, and supervisors often have nowhere to think through their own practice. This is supervision of supervision for supervisors who want to develop their practice and experience restorative supervision for themselves. It gives you dedicated time to reflect on your supervisory relationships, work through systemic issues, and think about how you hold your role. It’s a place to build clarity, confidence, and capacity to hold others

Supervision for Practitioners

Work in health, education and social care asks a lot of you emotionally. This is a restorative space to explore the emotional and relational side of your work, whether you’re facing a particular challenge or simply want to understand your practice more deeply. It’s confidential, you set the pace, and we approach everything with curiosity, compassion and care.

Group Supervision

A small group for people who work with others in and around organisations: coaches, organisational consultants and psychologists, teachers, and HR and learning and development professionals. Members come from different workplaces, so you bring your work to people who know the field but not your organisation.

You can bring whatever you’re carrying, whether that’s work with an individual client, a group you facilitate or a consultancy project, inside or outside your own organisation. We take time over each person’s work, with curiosity, compassion and care.

 

How I work

Whether you come to supervision on your own, as a supervisor, or as part of a group, I work from a relational and systemic perspective. In practice, that means we’re interested in what the work stirs up in you, including reactions that can be hard to put into words, and in the organisation, relationships and dynamics your work sits within.
