Therapy With Me

I'm Edel

I created The Grace Tree to offer a safe, evidence-based, soulful space that honours your pace. We all suffer at various stages of life. My hope is to guide you toward a fuller, more vibrant life - one that embraces all parts of who you are. 

There are so many valid reasons to start therapy...

Clarity

Need a space to get clearer on your needs & values to navigate life, or a specific challenge?

Confused

You're not ok but not sure what's going on. Feeling confused & overwhelmed?

Anxiety & Overthinking

Living with persistent angst, or feeling like your mind is on & very busy.

Short Fuse

Snapping at loved ones, feeling on edge, or have a short fuse?

Running On Empty

You're running on empty or moving from one burnout cycle to the next.

The Strong One

Carrying everyone else's needs while feeling resentful that no one shows up for you.

Living in Survival Mode

Running from one thing to the next or feeling disconnecting from life.

Carrying Old Baggage

Still untangling family histories or childhood patterns that still dictate how you react today.

Harsh Inner Critic

Feels like nothing you do is ever "enough," or wondering why you feel like you are failing despite your success.

Relationship Issues

Feeling disconnected in relationships, or experiencing difficulty with friction & conflict.

Life Transitions

Finding it hard to managing a life transition - job loss, career, midlife, grief, health. 

Parenting Support

Transitioning to parenthood, or have you hit a bumpy road as a parent?

Together, we build...

Greater Self-Trust

Cultivating clarity in your decisions and learning to honor your own needs.

​

Self-Awareness

Understand your body's stress responses instead of viewing yourself as something to be fixed.

Emotional Capacity

Building internal stability so you can navigate life's pressures without feeling completely swept away.

Authentic Connection

Finding ways to show up in your relationships as yourself - grounded, clear, and present.

How we work together... 

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Everyone’s journey is different, so I collaborate with you to find what works best for your unique goals — always working at a pace that feels safe for you. We explore:

Your inner world 

​

how you think and feel and the heaviness you carry in your body​

Your History

​​

how your history may have shaped how you cope with stress or how you relate. 

Your outer world 

​

how you show up in your relationships with family, friends or work

Your Healing 

​

what you truly need to feel seen, heard, and aligned with your values.

A Pluralistic, Evidence-Based Approach

My work is guided by the IACP ethical standards and built on a pluralistic approach. Because no two people are the same, I don’t rely on a single tool. Instead, I leverage evidence based methods tailored to your specific needs.

Testimonials

I don't know where to begin to explain how amazing Edel is. She created an environment where I felt so safe and nurtured. Every session, she met me where I was at that day and supported me to take the session wherever I needed to go. She was so skilled at understanding what I needed in the moment and at helping me to process and understand what was going on for me because a lot of the time I didn't understand it myself or found it hard to articulate it. I have never felt so connected to myself and so balanced and I couldn't have done it without Edel.
“I'm so grateful you came into my life when you did - everything happens for a reason.  You have an amazing gift for helping people. I love your empathy, your realness, your knowledge and guidance. But most importantly your no bullshit and stopping me to make me think.”
“When I first came to Edel, I was a burnt-out, lost, full-time working mother of two. Therapy with her has been truly transformative. Edel’s compassionate, non-judgmental presence made it safe to explore parts of myself I’d never touched before. Through her guidance, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of who I am and the tools to navigate life with clarity and confidence. I’ll be forever grateful for the change she’s brought to my life.”
