Psychotherapy

One to one sessions with Edel empowering you to root & rise

Beyond the grit

We are conditioned to operate in a state of high-velocity output. We are taught that grit is the only way to scale. But when the demands of a high-stakes career collide with the complexities of life - parenting, systemic pressure and personal history - that grit eventually turns into a thinning of the roots.

​

I provide a clinical, therapeutic space designed specifically for those who are thriving on paper but struggling in-between.

The Systems Edge

Structure meets soul: I am a psychotherapist and a systems thinker. I help high-performers "refactor" their internal architecture. I help you move from survival-based coping to a high-integrity system that supports a life lived with intention.

Common Starting Points

I always start with listening - to your story, your symptoms, your systems

Your inner world 

​

Anxiety, self-doubt, fear of failure, fatigue, perfectionism, guilt, obligations.

Your History

​

Beliefs, stories, narratives inherited and the impact of parentificaton, adoption or the complex dynamics of narcissism or addiction

Your outer world 

​

The influence of your environment - the family, social, cultural and corporate systems.

Your Healing 

​

This is space for the heavy seasons, making room for grief & loss and letting go of old identities so you can reclaim your authentic self.

Areas of Mastery

Together we navigate the deep psychological patterns that influence both life and leadership

The System Audit

Move beyond the cycle of stress and overwhelm. We identify your unique friction points to restore grounded, calm control.

Legacy Code

Untangle the influence of early roles and attachment patterns. We update old coping mechanisms to build a more authentic future.

Refactoring Self-Belief

Resolve the technical debt of limiting beliefs. We dismantle outdated patterns to align your inner reality with your values. 

System Upgrades

Navigate motherhood, career pivots, or identity shifts. We ensure your internal architecture evolves to support your new season.

External Interface

Navigate power dynamics and tricky stakeholders. We establish firm boundaries so your communication is rooted in integrity, not conflict.

System Decommission

Change triggers grief as old identities fall away. We navigate the void between who you were and your true self.

Root & Rise

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

Logic

CBT, Transactional Analysis, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

Depth

Psychodynamic, Jungian, Bowlby's Attachment Theory, Generational Inheritance

Humanistic

Person Centered, Choice Theory, Somatic Awareness 

The First Step: A 15-Minute Consultation

You’re invited to a free, no-pressure introductory call to see if we are the right fit.

 

In psychotherapy, the relationship is the most important part of the work. This call isn't a sales pitch or a formal intake; it’s a brief, confidential space for us to get a "felt sense" of each other. It’s an opportunity for you to see if you feel heard and for us to determine if my clinical approach aligns with your needs.

​​

​This call is an invitation to see if we can clear the fog together. Confidentiality is guaranteed. 

In this call we assess...

Reality

We identify the stressors currently costing you your peace.

Aspiration

We get a sense of your "North Star" - where you want to be. 

Alignment

​Ensure my approach is the catalyst to bridge your gap.

Testimonials

“Having Edel by my side during my presidential nomination was more than luck. It was a blessing. Edel brought clarity and focus to everything we did. Her calming nature and wisdom gave me the strength to stay true to my message and values throughout my presidential campaign and this is something I will carry forward in my work.”

Lorna 

​

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.
