about me & my approach
About me
My name is Killian and I was born and raised in Ireland before moving to the UK in my early twenties, where I spent formative years working in the British Civil Service. That experience gave me a grounded understanding of social structures and systems—insight that continues to inform my work as a therapist. Eventually, I made the shift into psychotherapy, driven by a curiosity about the inner lives we lead and the barriers that often keep us from living them fully.
I trained at Birkbeck College, University of London, where I earned a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, following a Foundation Degree in Short-Term Psychodynamic Counselling and CBT. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in various settings, including an LGBTQIA+ charity and a private practice in Covent Garden, London. In 2023, I relocated to Tasmania, where I continue to offer therapeutic services that prioritise compassion, reflection, and personal autonomy.
Beyond technique, I bring a broad interest in the social sciences and existential philosophy into the room. I’m particularly attuned to the kinds of questions raised by late modern life—alienation, identity, disconnection, and the psychological fallout of living in a world shaped by unseen systems and inherited narratives. My work often explores how political, social, and technological forces shape our psychic landscape. These ideas don’t dominate the therapy, but they inform the way I think—always with the aim of helping people reclaim agency, meaning, and emotional clarity in a culture that can feel fast-moving and impersonal.
Whether you're seeking support through a specific difficulty or hoping to understand yourself more deeply, I offer therapy that makes space for your complexity and honours your experience—whatever form that takes.
What to expect when you contact me
Firstly we'll have a brief chat on the phone, video call or by email to discuss your concerns and arrange a time and day for your initial assessment. At this assessment, you will have space to talk about what has brought you to therapy and ask any questions about the process. You might want to know more about me, that’s perfectly reasonable.. but - you’re the important one in your therapy. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and safe. We will then decide together how long you'd like therapy for and agree weekly or fortnightly appointments that fit with you. Please note that an assessment may conclude that fortnightly appointments are unsuitable and weekly sessions will be arranged.
If you have contacted me and do not receive a response within 24 hours, or 48 hours at the weekend, please check your spam folder - some spam folders will automatically delete any reply before you have a chance to read it, so do not hesitate to get back in touch.
