About me

My practice
I’m a person-centred therapist originally from Ireland, I’ve spent the past decade working in Australia’s not-for-profit sector, supporting people through some of life’s most challenging moments. My experience spans across our communities, from teens to older adults, navigating grief and loss, chronic illness, psychosis, homelessness, suicidal thoughts, and incarceration.

These experiences have deepened my belief in the quiet power of presence: being truly heard, without judgement, and held with compassion.

At Quiet Steps, I offer a space where you don’t have to rush or explain everything all at once. We move at your pace, gently and respectfully, toward healing, clarity, and connection.

I work from a person-centred foundation, meaning you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk beside you with warmth, care, and curiosity, creating a safe space where change feels not only possible, but sustainable.

Whether you’re in the midst of a crisis or simply seeking deeper understanding.

Appointments available in-person and via telehealth, with flexible options including evenings and weekends to suit your schedule.

Let’s take the first quiet step together. Reach out for a no-pressure chat to see if we’re a good fit.
