Talk to someone - from wherever you are

Why choose online therapy?

Online counselling gives you access to professional, compassionate support - wherever you are. It’s ideal if you live in a rural area, have mobility challenges, a busy schedule, or simply prefer to talk from the comfort of home. With online therapy you can:

  • Talk to a qualified therapist without needing to travel

  • Choose a space that feels safe and familiar

  • Fit sessions into your daily life more easily

  • Access help even if local services are limited

Online therapy isn’t second best - it’s just a different way to connect. For many people, it’s the most comfortable and convenient way to begin.

Is online therapy right for me?

Online therapy works just like in-person counselling — you’ll have a safe, confidential space to talk, explore what’s going on, and get support. The only difference is we meet via a secure video platform.

It can be a good fit if you:

Want therapy but can’t easily travel to sessions

Feel more comfortable opening up from home

Need flexibility around work, childcare or energy levels

Live abroad or in a remote area without local options

You don’t need to be “tech-savvy” - just a quiet space, a device with a camera, and a stable internet connection. We’ll take it from there.

Why work with me?

I’ve supported people through anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and more - all from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. With over 20 years’ experience as a counsellor, I offer online therapy that’s flexible, supportive, and centred around you.

My approach is always:

Compassionate: you won’t be judged for how you feel.

Practical: we’ll find strategies that make everyday life more manageable.

Tailored to you: therapy should fit your needs, not the other way around.

LGBTQI+ friendly: a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself.

FAQs about online therapy

Find answers to common questions about the experience of online counselling and how we might work together.

How does online therapy work?

Online therapy sessions take place over a secure video platform. You’ll receive a private link before each session -  just click to join from your phone, tablet, or computer. It’s a simple, flexible way to access professional support from home.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person counselling?

Yes. Research shows that online therapy is just as effective for many issues, including anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and more. What matters most is feeling safe, heard, and supported - and that can happen just as meaningfully online.

What do I need for online counselling?

All you need is a quiet, private space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone. I’ll take care of the rest - including sending clear instructions and a secure link for each session.

Can I access online therapy if I live outside Wexford?

Absolutely. Online therapy is available throughout Ireland and beyond. Whether you’re based in Dublin, Cork, or a rural area, online sessions mean you can work with a therapist without needing to travel.

Is online counselling suitable for anxiety or low self-esteem?

Yes. Online therapy is particularly helpful for issues like anxiety, self-esteem, and overwhelm - especially if leaving the house feels difficult. You can talk openly, at your own pace, from the comfort of your own space.

What if I feel unsure about starting therapy online?

That’s completely normal. Many people feel unsure at first - especially if it’s their first time in therapy. A free initial call is a chance to ask questions, talk through how it works, and see if it feels like the right fit for you.
