I have lived in Cork for most of my life and it is one of my most favourite cities. I love the food, the restaurants and the buzzing atmosphere that pervades the city. A few years ago, when I qualified as a Primary Teacher, I decided to move to London to gain more independence along with professional and life experience outside of my comfort zone. I lived in London for nearly two years and it really was one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences of my life so far! I gained a wealth of experience and independence. I have since completed my Coaching Diploma and Play Therapy Certificate which has hugely added to my learning and development.

I set up my business – Merry Me Centre in 2016 and since then I have worked tirelessly on developing my skills and experience in order to help people maximise their growth and development. I have had articles published in the Cork Independent relating to Personal Development. I was honoured to give a key note speech at a Network Cork event which was titled – “Building Confidence in Business”. I am a regular guest on Cork’s 96FM Opinion Line speaking about a wide range of topics such as mental/emotional health and Personal Development.

One of the most important things I have learned over time is that life is for living, I have unlimited potential, only I can make the most of my life and that is what I strive to do every day by exploring every opportunity that presents itself to me.

My work is my passion and I thrive on supporting and encouraging people to empower themselves, find a fulfilling purpose and turn inward to make changes within to see long lasting changes in their outside reality.

I founded Merry Me Centre in order to pursue my goal of empowering people to further their Personal Development, improve their Mental and Emotional health and well-being, and massively increase their quality of life by pursuing values such as awareness, freedom, authenticity, autonomy and independence. I have overcome many challenges and difficulties in my life so I have a lot of life experience under my belt. I have already built up a dynamic career for myself and I know what it means to take risks and believe that they will pay off. I have made a few mistakes along the way (who doesn’t?) but I have learned very valuable lessons from those mistakes and I count myself very fortunate to have had more successes than failures. I owe those successes to my drive and determination to create the best life I can and be the best person I can be.

I am dedicated to and passionate about healing through Personal Development. It has massively changed my life and I believe it can change anyone’s life for the better that is willing to commit to make positive changes (however small they may be initially).

My approach is a holistic one, we will begin by looking at the bigger picture of your life and ascertain what your needs, wants and wishes are. My style of coaching varies according to a persons need. Some people prefer gentle encouragement and other people prefer active accountability. I use the Co-Active coaching model which is based on the premise that every human being is resourceful, creative and whole and that everybody is the expert of their own lives. Values are extremely important to us as humans and when we are not in line with our values, we are “out of sync” with ourselves. In a coaching session, a client’s values are explored at a deep level and then we discover which values need to be implemented and lived up to in what areas of your life.
