FAQ’s


Getting Started


  • Cork City Centre (Marlboro Street) on Mondays, Fermoy on Wednesdays and online on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

  • Usually we will speak about what brings you to therapy. This allows me to get to know your history in more detail, consider the nature of the current problems and develop a plan for treatment.

  • Yes, therapy can be delivered effectively online. A large proportion of my practice involves online therapy. Both my clients and I have found this to be just as effective as face to face sessions while also at times more practical.

  • Yes. Click here to schedule a complimentary consultation with me where we can talk about what you are looking for, ask questions and decide on the next steps.


CBT+ Policies


  • Confidentiality is an important aspect of psychotherapy. This means that under normal circumstances no one outside of a therapy session is given any information — even the fact that you have been here — without your expressed written consent.

    However, psychotherapists are ethically and legally bound to report certain information in which there is the possibility of harm to a client or to another person, in cases of child or elder abuse, or under court order.

  • In case of cancellation please give as much notice as possible and at least 48 hours. Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice and non-attended appointments without notice incur a €40 fee.

  • Sessions can be held as freqeuntly or infrequently as you would like.

    It is hard to say how many therapy sessions will be needed. The short answer is – it depends. My goal is to help you reach your goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. That being said, I can’t tell you when you will feel better. Decisions about your treatment will be made jointly, collaboratively and in an informed way.


Fees


  • €85 for a 55-minute session.

  • Payments can be paid in person or online. I request that clients paying by bank transfer do so 24 hours before their appointment.

  • For all healthcare insurance companies, you will need to contact your insurer directly to enquire if your plan covers therapy with me. Please inform your provider that I am BABCP and IABCP accredited.

    I am an approved LAYA healthcare psychotherapist under therapist ID: 11991.
