Counselling & psychotherapy

For Adults (18+) 

I help adults find their grounded confident centre. 

 

At times life can be challenging. Together, we’ll navigate the complex personal and professional systems shaping your life and keeping you stuck. With the right support, I believe everyone has the capacity to make positive changes.

Stress, Burnout, Overwhelm

For when you’re running on empty and pushing through no longer works.

  • Stressed? Do you feel constantly on edge, detached, depleted and feel like you're taking it out on loved ones, but can't seem to figure out why?

  • Exhausted? Do you feel burned out? Like you're running to catch up all the time, but never get there? Are you constantly trying to get a grip on life, but no matter what you do, it just doesn't seem to work?

  • Overwhelmed? Is your mind racing with to-do lists, that seem impossible to figure out. Is your sleep interrupted with anxious thoughts about all that you have to get done?

Backed by Master’s research into the psychology of burnout, we audit your stressors, your history and rebuild your capacity.​​​

Mental Health & Wellbeing

For navigating the internal hurdles and histories that hold you back from a fulfilling life.

  • Anxious? Do you find yourself with a persistent angst and worry that seems to hang over every decision you make and consume your headspace, robbing you of living in the present moment?

  • Self-doubt? Do you feel confused about your reactions and find yourself blowing small issues out of proportion but not knowing why? 

  • Family issues?  Are you feeling deeply frustrated with an ongoing family issue that takes up your mental and emotional energy?

  • Complex childhood? Do you feel like your childhood has left an imprint that you haven't been able to get to grips with and make peace with? Maybe you are the parentified child, the adult child of an alcoholic parent or sibling, grew up in poverty or you have been impacted by adoption. 

  • The strong one? Tired of being the strong one that is there for everyone else, but feeling resentful that you don't get the same in return?

  • Struggling with a life transition? Are you struggling to navigate a career change, redundancy or major life event?

  • Grief & Loss: Are you trying to navigate loss and find your footing again?
     

Life can bring complex emotional baggage. Whether you are navigating a current crisis or untangling long-standing patterns from your past, this is a space for deep, non-judgmental healing.​ Together, we look at the root causes of your distress to build genuine internal stability.​​​

Professional Growth

Using a psychological lens to help professionals and leaders master their environment.

  • Imposter? Do you feel like an imposter, that no matter how many degrees, credential or promotions you get, you still can't shake that feeling of not feeling good enough.

  • Fear of speaking? Do you shut down when presenting, or feel completely overwhelmed and worried about giving the wrong answer? Are you afraid of speaking your truth at work for fear of the consequences?

  • Tricky stakeholder? Are you finding one particular manager or co-worker particularly challenging to work with, but not sure why they bother you so much? 

  • Difficulty saying no? Do you find it hard to say no at work, worrying that it will affect your performance? 

  • Never good enough? Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, it never feels good enough? 
     

Success shouldn't come at the cost of your sanity. Leading people, navigating corporate politics, and managing environments requires a high level of psychological stamina.​ I help you decode the dynamics that rattle your sense of self, so you can lead with authority, authenticity, and peace of mind.

Autumn Leaves Close-up

 

Take the first step with Edel 

When I first came to Edel, I was a burnt-out, lost, full-time working mother of two. Therapy with her has been truly transformative. Edel’s compassionate, non-judgmental presence made it safe to explore parts of myself I’d never touched before. Through her guidance, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of who I am and the tools to navigate life with clarity and confidence. I’ll be forever grateful for the change she’s brought to my life.
Mother & Senior Leader, 40
I'm so grateful you came into my life when you did - everything happens for a reason.  You have an amazing gift for helping people. I love your empathy, your realness, your knowledge and guidance. But most importantly your no bullshit and stopping me to make me think.
Mother, 30s
I don't know where to begin to explain how amazing Edel is. She created an environment where I felt so safe and nurtured. Every session, she met me where I was at that day and supported me to take the session wherever I needed to go. She was so skilled at understanding what I needed in the moment and at helping me to process and understand what was going on for me because a lot of the time I didn't understand it myself or found it hard to articulate it. I have never felt so connected to myself and so balanced and I couldn't have done it without Edel.
