About Lindsay
My psychotherapy training and background includes an MA in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy from the University of Limerick (2004). Humanistic psychotherapy draws upon many influences and is characterised by a belief in the uniqueness of each person and their capacity for development and healing throughout the lifespan.
I have undertaken many other trainings over the years, including mindfulness and meditation in Ireland and Scotland, attachment, trauma, psychosynthesis, and spiritual caregiving.
I work with adults on a one-to-one basis, helping you to make sense of the issues you bring and to find ways of healing and moving forward in areas where you are feeling stuck for whatever reason. Finding ways to re-connect with yourself that are more accepting can enhance meaning and fulfilment in life.
I often work with people in transition and those experiencing loss, both of which are fundamental movements of life. Transition and loss can be experienced in ageing and health, as well as in work, family and relationships. I have a particular interest in the loss and grief associated with ageing, illness and fertility issues, including circumstantial childlessness. Our culture usually associates grief with death, while non-death losses, though an inevitable part of life, are often invisible. Sometimes such losses are associated with a future possibility which does not transpire as hoped for, or expected.
I am a member of the Irish Council for Psychotherapy accredited with IAHIP.
I have lived in various countries and have worked in small and large organisations in professional and managerial capacities. Other study includes English Literature, librarianship, computer science and fine art textiles programmes. I maintain an active creative practice.
