Counselling & Psychotherapy for Anxiety, Overwhelm, Brain Fog and Women's Emotional Wellbeing

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed or unlike yourself?

Perhaps you're struggling with constant worry, overthinking, emotional exhaustion, poor sleep or a loss of confidence. You may feel that everyday life has become harder than it used to be, despite appearing to cope on the outside.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted or confused by changes in their emotional wellbeing. They often wonder why they are feeling more anxious, less resilient or no longer like themselves.

For some women, these challenges may be linked to hormonal changes during perimenopause, menopause or other stages of reproductive life. For others, anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties or life transitions may be contributing factors.

Whatever the cause, you do not have to navigate it alone.

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Stillorgan, Dublin, providing warm, evidence-based support for adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, emotional distress and significant life changes. Together we can make sense of what is happening, develop practical strategies for managing difficult emotions and help you feel calmer, more confident and more in control again.

Who I Help

I work with adults experiencing:

• Anxiety and excessive worry
• Overthinking and racing thoughts
• Stress and emotional overwhelm
• Burnout and fatigue
• Brain fog and concentration difficulties
• Low mood and loss of confidence
• Sleep difficulties
• Life transitions and identity changes
• Relationship challenges
• Perimenopause and menopause-related emotional difficulties
• Hormone-related mood changes throughout the menstrual cycle

I also provide support for partners who wish to better understand the impact of perimenopause and menopause on their relationship and family life.

Areas of Special Interest

Anxiety, Stress and Emotional Overwhelm

Anxiety can affect every aspect of life, from sleep and concentration to relationships and self-confidence. Therapy can help you understand the factors driving anxiety while developing practical tools for feeling calmer and more resilient.

Perimenopause and Menopause

Hormonal transitions can have a profound impact on emotional wellbeing. I support women experiencing anxiety, mood changes, brain fog, loss of confidence, sleep disruption and emotional exhaustion during perimenopause and menopause.

Brain Fog and Cognitive Changes

Difficulties with concentration, memory and mental clarity can be frustrating and distressing. Together we can explore ways of managing these changes while reducing the anxiety and self-criticism that often accompany them.

Burnout and Life Transitions

Many clients come to therapy during periods of change, uncertainty or personal challenge. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect and find a way forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Support for Partners

Perimenopause can significantly affect relationships. I help partners better understand the emotional and physical realities of hormonal transition, improve communication and strengthen connection.

My Approach

My work combines evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a compassionate understanding of the relationship between emotional wellbeing, physical health and life circumstances.

I believe many people spend too long believing they should simply "push through" anxiety, overwhelm or emotional exhaustion. Therapy provides an opportunity to slow down, understand what is happening and develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges.

My aim is not only to help reduce symptoms but also to help you build a kinder relationship with yourself, reconnect with your strengths and feel more like yourself again.
