📣It’s Birth Trauma Awareness Week. A vital moment to recognise the voices of women who’ve experienced trauma during birth.

This year, the focus is on marginalised groups who face additional barriers in maternity care from racial disparities to the challenges faced by disabled and neurodivergent mothers.

We stand with those speaking out. Let’s listen. Let’s learn. Let’s do better. 💜

I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over 25 years experience working in mental health. I have been working for the HSE for most of my career but have made the exciting (and nerve wracking) decision to expand my private psychotherapy practice. I am based on the Tipp/kilkenny border and am currently providing online CBT and/or EMDR therapy with the aim to be back providing face to face therapy soon. I have a particular interest in trauma work but also extensive experience in anxiety, mood, OCD and perinatal mental health issues. Please get in touch with any questions or if you’d like to organise a call to discuss anything further. Thanks
