A little bit about me, and why this work matters to me.
Hello, my name is Sinéad, I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with a BSc (Hons) Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a pre-accredited member of IACP (M15378). I offer both online and in-person therapy.
I have a particular interest in childhood trauma that is not only professional; it is also personal. Having experienced my own childhood trauma and life challenges, I understand that our early experiences can leave their mark long after childhood has passed. They can influence how we see ourselves, how we form relationships, how safe we feel in the world, and whether we believe we are worthy of love, happiness, and connection.
I also understand that sometimes simply getting through life can take so much of our energy that we lose touch with ourselves along the way. We learn to cope, to keep going, and to put one foot in front of the other. We may become so accustomed to surviving that we forget what it feels like to feel joy and truly live.
My own experiences have deepened my appreciation for the courage it takes to begin exploring our past and the compassion we need as we learn to understand ourselves. They have also strengthened my belief that our past does not have to define our future.
