Our Services

In Person

At my home-based practice, I offer a cozy, private, and comfortable environment designed to make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. This tranquil setting allows for a more personal and relaxed counseling experience, away from the clinical feel of a traditional office. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, my home provides a safe and serene space where we can focus on your well-being and growth.

Remote

In addition to in-person sessions, I offer flexible and convenient remote options, including online video and phone counselling. My goal with a remote service is to provide professional care and support which is accessible from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Home Visits

If you are unable to visit my practice, and remote counselling is not a good option for you, I also offer home visits to clients located in Tralee or the surrounding area.
