MSc Health Psychology · Individuals · Organisations · Community
You might be feeling overwhelmed or running on empty, finding it difficult to make healthy changes stick, or learning how to live with a health condition that has changed your everyday life.
You don't need to have reached breaking point to benefit from support.
Feeling overwhelmed, constantly switched on, exhausted or struggling to properly recover?
We can look at what's contributing to your stress, how it's affecting your health and everyday life, and develop practical ways to cope, recover and protect your wellbeing.
Adjusting to a diagnosis or managing the everyday impact of pain, fatigue or a long-term health condition?
I can support you with the psychological and practical side of living with changes in your health - from adjusting to a diagnosis and managing fatigue or pain to pacing yourself, maintaining routines and finding ways to live well alongside your condition.
Know what you'd like to change, but finding it difficult to make those changes stick?
We can explore what gets in the way and find realistic ways to build healthier habits around sleep, movement, routines and other health behaviours - without expecting perfection.
I'm Rita, a Health Psychology Practitioner based in Dublin.
My approach combines psychological research with practical, down-to-earth support. I don't believe people need another list of things they should be doing. Most of us already know many of those things.
What can be harder is understanding why something isn't working, what's getting in the way, and how to make change possible within the reality of your health, responsibilities and everyday life.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Psychology and an MSc in Health Psychology. Both programmes provided accredited psychology training, with my Health Psychology MSc accredited by the British Psychological Society. My background also includes many years working in community and non-profit settings, supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.
My approach is warm, collaborative and practical. We start with where you are - not where you think you should be.

“Good wellbeing support doesn't just tell people what to do - it helps them understand what's getting in the way, and makes real, lasting change feel possible in everyday life.”
