Therapist. Human. Occasionally winging it 😂

I think people assume therapists have it all together.

We really don’t.

We overthink. We have bad days. We sometimes have absolutely no idea what we’re doing either.

We’re just better at asking questions about it 😂

Therapy is not about having all the answers. It’s about figuring things out together.

Shame dies when stories are told in safe places.
- Ann Voskamp

With CSB, the story might be:

P**n. S*x. Urges. Fantasies.
“I can't seem to stop.”

Shame says hide.
Therapy says understand.

That’s where change starts ❤️

Some of the hardest conversations are the ones we never think we'll have.

If you're struggling with compulsive s*xual behaviour, problematic po*******hy use, or feelings of shame around your s*xual behaviour, you might be carrying the weight of it alone.

One of the things I hear most often is:
"I'm worried you'll judge me."

The answer is simple: I won't.

It isn't about labels or criticism. It's about understanding what's happening, exploring the reasons behind the behaviour, and helping you move towards the life and relationships you want.

Reaching out can feel like the hardest step, but you don't have to figure it out on your own.

If this resonates with you, you're welcome to get in touch for a confidential chat.

These coffees made me smile.

A good reminder that two people can sit in the same place, at the same time, and still see things differently.

It's a bit like relationships really.

We don't always have to agree. Sometimes we just need to be curious to understand.

And let's be honest, life would be pretty boring if we were all the same.

Are you struggling with compulsive s*xual behaviours, sometimes referred to as s*x addiction or p**n addiction?

These behaviours can begin to feel overwhelming and may impact relationships, emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, and daily life. Therapy offers a confidential, supportive, and non-judgemental space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and work towards healthier coping strategies and greater balance.

If this is something you would like to explore, please feel free to get in touch 🤍

Do you ever find yourself watching p**n more often than you’d like, or feeling out of control around s*x? you’re not alone in that.

Drawing on training from the Contemporary Institute of Clinical S*xology (CICS), my work supports people who want to better understand and manage compulsive or out-of-control s*xual behaviours.

I have a small number of low-cost therapy spaces available, both online and in-person in Balbriggan, Dublin.

Masking can feel like wearing a mask 24/7..
hiding parts of yourself to fit in 😔

Many neurodivergent adults & teens do this without even realising it. It can be exhausting and impact your mental health, self-esteem, and focus.

I help clients notice when they’re masking and explore ways to feel more authentic and understood.
