Hello, my name is Ireland. 

Little Window holds a special place in my heart as it is where I began my journey into the world of Psychology, not just as a member of the Client Support Team and then Management Team, but as I embarked on my career and study in Psychology.

I believe I reflect the qualities and values of our practice: I care deeply for others, I am a patient, considerate, respectful an open person and my calm nature helps to reassure our clients that I will always be there to support them throughout their experience at Little Window. I take pride in my work at Little Window, and provide great attention to detail to all the aspects of my work, particularly in my communication with my team and with clients. 

As Co- Practice Manager, my aim is to provide a seamless and smooth experience of the operations of Little Window, maintain harmonious interpersonal dynamics within our team, to embody and uphold our core values, and to ensure that there is an exceptional standard of client care. I also take pride in my marketing role, in engaging with our social media community through showing who we are as people and as a practice.

 


I feel that Little Window has a unique environment; it provides a sanctuary, and feels like you are at home. This sense of safety and comfort is so important when in a counselling space. Alongside this, I experience our therapists to be genuine and amazing people.

In my spare time, I love to support local music and see as many live gigs as I possibly can - the feeling you get when you are amongst this atmosphere is something I truly treasure. I also have two lovely cats named Saylor and Jerry who I dedicate most of my time to - they are cheeky boy’s who need a lot of attention. 

My not-so-little collection of indoor plants and op- shop finds are other small loves in my life. I also love drinking lots of tea, which is very easy to do at Little Window… the teas we have here are endless! 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about me. I really look forward to getting to know you and welcoming you into our space.
