What breathwork training has taught me so far

When I began my breathwork training, I thought the focus would be on learning techniques — what to do, how to guide, how to get it “right.”

But what I’m learning is that it’s not really about the technique at all.

It’s about holding space.

Creating an environment that feels safe, supportive, and trusting — much like in counselling — where people can show up exactly as they are. I’m learning that everyone’s capacity is different, and each person comes with their own intentions, expectations, and experiences.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

What matters most is creating a space where people feel safe enough to explore, and to become curious about their own breath and body.

We breathe all the time, yet we rarely pay attention to it. And when we do, it can be surprisingly difficult to stay with the breath. That in itself has been one of the biggest learnings for me — how challenging it can be to slow down, to stay present, and to simply notice.

I feel incredibly grateful to all of the participants who have trusted me so far. It has been a privilege to hold space for them, and to learn alongside them in the process.

I’m still very much on this journey, and I’m looking forward to continuing to deepen both my understanding and my practice.

Thank you for being here,

Feeling Overwhelmed? How Counselling Can Help You Find Calm

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether it’s anxiety, stress, grief, low mood, or feeling stuck, it’s normal to need support. Taking the first step can feel daunting — but it can also be the beginning of real change.

How Counselling Helps

Counselling gives you a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can:

• Understand what’s happening in your life

• Identify patterns that may be causing stress or anxiety

• Find practical tools to cope and manage difficult emotions

• Explore what matters to you and how to move forward

My approach is person-centred, meaning you are always at the heart of the process. There’s no judgement, no agenda, and no rush — just a supportive environment where your own growth can happen at your pace.

Small Steps Make a Big Difference

Even before starting counselling, there are simple ways to take care of yourself each day. For example:

• Pause and notice your thoughts without judging them

• Keep a short journal of feelings or worries

• Take a brief walk or move your body to release tension

• Take a moment to notice your breath

Small steps like these can help you feel more grounded and aware of your needs.

Take the First Step

If you’re ready to explore counselling, you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. I offer both online and in-person sessions in Swords, North Co. Dublin, as well as a free 15-minute discovery call to see if we’re the right fit.

Taking that first step can be the start of feeling calmer, clearer, and more confident in your life.
