Story
About Me
I’m Jennifer, a psychotherapist rooted in the verdant landscapes of Co. Kerry. After 20 years working in corporate environments across Germany, the UK, Dublin, and Cork, I’ve returned full circle to my home soil—where my heart and practice now flourish.
My journey began with Business and German studies, launching me into a successful corporate career. Yet beneath the professional achievements, I felt a growing disconnect. The joy was slowly fading, replaced by a persistent whisper that something essential was missing.
The Turning Point...
Like many of my clients, I know what it feels like when your professional life no longer nourishes your spirit. The exhaustion. The sense of being uprooted. The quiet ache that follows you home each evening.
My own burnout became my greatest teacher. Through therapy, I discovered that my natural curiosity about human behaviour wasn’t just a passing interest, it was calling me toward my true purpose.
This realisation changed everything. I retrained as a psychotherapist, completing my degree, master’s, and accreditation. I dove deeper into specialised healing modalities, becoming accredited in EMDR and NARM® therapy; i.e. powerful approaches for resolving trauma and reconnecting with your authentic self.
How I Work With You
At Dandelion Hearts, I create a safe, nurturing space where transformation can take root.
Just as dandelions thrive in challenging conditions, I believe we all have the innate capacity to grow through difficulty when given the right support. My approach is holistic and body-centered.
Together, we’ll:
Identify the root causes of your distress, not just manage symptoms
Transform old stories and trauma patterns that keep you stuck
Reconnect with your body’s wisdom and innate healing capacity
Build sustainable practices that support your continued growth
Move beyond coping to genuinely thriving
Whether you’re navigating burnout, processing trauma, or seeking more meaning and authenticity in your life, I meet you exactly where you are. No judgement. No rushing. Just compassionate, expert guidance as you chart a new course.
Dandelion is nature’s candle.
For fellow Practitioners
Having navigated my own career transition and established a thriving practice, I understand the unique challenges EMDR practitioners face. From integration of techniques to practice building, I offer consultation that honours both clinical excellence and your personal wellbeing.
A Different Way of Being
My life now moves at a different rhythm: more connected, more aligned with my values, and deeply rooted in community. This transformation informs everything I do with clients.
The pivotal moments that redirected my own journey have become signposts I can recognise in others. My role is to help you read these signposts in your own life, to follow the whispers of your soul toward healing, and to cultivate fertile soil where your authentic self can finally thrive.
When you’re ready to transform struggle into growth ‘like the dandelion breaking through concrete’ I’m here to light the way.
