About Me

Healing, transformation, and creativity are deeply connected. The way we think, feel, and express ourselves is shaped by the stories we tell—stories about our worth, our potential, and what we believe is possible. Too often, these stories are filled with doubt, fear, and self-limiting beliefs that hold us back from fully stepping into who we are meant to be.

Many of us grow up believing that our voices are too small, that our ideas don’t matter, or that creativity belongs to others but not to us. I understand that struggle. I have seen how self-doubt, perfectionism, past wounds, and burnout can silence even the most passionate souls. But I also know this: healing is possible, and your inner fire—the essence of your creativity and self-expression—is still there, waiting to be reclaimed.

As a Registered Counselling Psychologist, my work is dedicated to helping not only artists, writers, and performers but also healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, educators, and leaders—anyone who feels the call to create, innovate, or express themselves more fully but struggles with doubt, anxiety, or the weight of past experiences. Whether you feel stuck in imposter syndrome, disconnected from your sense of purpose, or creatively blocked, I offer a space where you can explore, heal, and rediscover the voice within you.

My Journey: Psychology, Storytelling, and the Sacred Path of Transformation

From a young age, I have been drawn to the mystery of existence, the unseen currents that move through life, and the deeper truths woven into our stories, emotions, and dreams. My path has always been one of searching—seeking to understand not only the human mind but also the soul’s longing for meaning, expression, and transformation.

This journey led me to psychology, where I found a language for the inner world, for healing, and for the profound resilience of the human spirit. I hold a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology from Trinity College Dublin, where I was awarded the Allen Burke Memorial Prize for Best Dissertation in 2020, and an MSc in Psychology from the University of St Andrews. My work in grief, resilience, and healing deepened through a Postgraduate Diploma in Bereavement and Loss at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland, where I explored how we navigate loss, renewal, and the search for meaning.

Beyond psychology, I have always been drawn to mythology, history, politics, and spiritual traditions—the stories that help us understand who we are and what we are capable of becoming. With degrees in Classical Studies, International Relations, and Post-War Recovery, I have studied how civilizations rebuild after rupture, how myths reveal the cycles of death and rebirth, and how personal transformation mirrors the great archetypal journeys of humanity.

At The Mythic Self, I integrate psychology, ancient wisdom, and meditation to guide individuals through their own journey of self-discovery. Creativity is not just about art—it is a way of thinking, feeling, and engaging with life. It is a force within you, waiting to be awakened.

Whether you are a writer, musician, artist, performer, entrepreneur, leader, healer, educator, or someone simply seeking to reconnect with your inner fire, my work is about helping you step into your fullness—with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

This is more than healing. It is a return to the self. A reclamation of the sacred within you.
