Kristin brings a rich personal and professional history to the counselling field, with experience as a certified professional homebirth midwife, and as the parent to a child with intellectual disability. Additionally, she is a sex positive, kink aware, and polyamory & queer affirming therapist. As an American-born citizen of Ireland, she also has personal experience of immigration and learning to live in a new culture.

Kristin’s approach is integrative with a strong humanist basis. This means that she believes that individuals are capable of determining the best solutions to their own problems, and that therapy is often a process of learning to listen to their own truest self. Compassion and mindfulness are also key tools she brings to each session. Kristin works with clients wholistically, integrating an understanding of how emotions are felt and processed in the body (somatic experiencing), and also with a view to understand the often-complex contexts that surround issues brought to therapy.

As well as being accredited with the IACP, Kristin has undertaken additional training focused on working with couples and relationships in a therapeutic context. Kristin understands that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives and we face some of our most difficult emotional challenges in our closest relationships.

Kristin has experience working with:

Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma history, bereavement/grief, relationship challenges, divorce, abusive relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, self-compassion challenges, OCD, suicidality and self-harm, and addiction. Additionally, she has familiarity with issues of neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, etc) and executive function challenges.
