Note: Irene is currently not taking new clients.

I help people through the emotional and relationship issues that arise at various stages in their life. Relentless and intense feelings of overwhelm, disconnection, low motivation or sadness can leave you feeling helpless and unsure of where to turn. By this stage, it’s common to feel as though it’s your fault or something is truly wrong with you.  I can help by supporting individuals to understand where these difficulties are coming from and how to overcome them, free from negative self-judgement and with a new confidence.

If it is your child that is experiencing these difficulties, I can work with you as a family to repair relationships, build resilience and guide your child through hardship. I assist parents to understand concerning behaviours in their children and transform their approach to dealing with these behaviours and reconnecting with their child.

I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and experience working with both adults and young people (and the parents and families who support them) in private practice and public mental health settings. I work collaboratively to achieve client goals, and use a client-centred, warm, and empathetic approach to therapy. I draw on evidence-based frameworks to best meet individual and family circumstances, including cognitive-behaviour therapy, attachment, family systems and functional behavioural support.
