Ireland's only cocaine addiction specialist with lived recovery experience, a CBT degree, and a bestselling book. Private, confidential, one-to-one sessions.
“Most therapists understand addiction academically.
I understand it because I lived it — and I found the way out. That changes everything about what I can do for you.”
For years, cocaine, alcohol, and gambling had me trapped. I saw therapists. Read the books. Nothing landed — because no one in that room had actually been where I was. The gap between theory and lived reality was impossible to bridge.
Then I found a way through. Not a shortcut — a real, structured dismantling of the patterns that kept me stuck. I went on to earn my CBT degree, write a bestselling book, and build a practice around the exact methodology that changed my life.
What makes me different isn't a qualification. It's the fact that when you sit across from me, I already know exactly what you're carrying — and exactly what it takes to put it down.
I work with a small number of clients at any time. Every session is private, structured, and built around your specific situation.
My core specialism. I understand the psychology, the social world, and the shame of cocaine addiction from the inside. The results I achieve with cocaine clients are unmatched because of that.
Evidence-based CBT for the depression and anxiety that so often sit underneath addiction. Many clients find these are the real root — and that's where we do the deepest work.
Alcohol, gambling, prescription drugs, and other substance use. If you're trapped in a pattern you can't break, I have the methodology — and the personal understanding — to help.
Working with me is deliberately simple. No complicated intake processes. Just direct, focused work.
Submit a brief enquiry. I review it personally and respond within 24 hours. Not every enquiry leads to a session — I only work with people I believe I can genuinely help.
A direct, private conversation. No pressure. I want to understand your situation and you deserve to know exactly how I work before committing to anything.
Your first full session. I understand your history, your triggers, and your goals. We build a structured programme tailored entirely to you.
We work. Consistently, honestly, and with clear milestones. Most clients begin to notice real change within the first 4–6 sessions.

Without Gary's guidance my life would not be the same… he really has saved me and my recovery.
Forty-plus years of numb cravings… almost gone. Not white-knuckled gone, just quiet, everyday peace.
Gary has transformed my mindset… my whole life has changed for the best.
Three months ago I spent €800 on a blowout weekend. This last weekend I put €800 away in savings. That's what working with Gary actually looks like.
A month sober and clean and that's thanks to Gary.
He believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself… I can confidently say I'm not the same person I was when I started.
Gary has been a massive help in my recovery from alcoholism and depression… I was in a very dark place.
I released my first song on Spotify last week… something I never thought I'd be able to say. And Gary played an enormous role in that.
Based on Gary's own study of 400 cocaine users — the true cost of waiting is far greater than the cost of getting help.
Consider what staying stuck is costing you — in your career, relationships, and health. Most clients describe this as the best investment they've ever made in themselves.
For clients whose primary focus is cocaine or substance addiction, with or without co-occurring depression and anxiety.
For clients focused on depression, anxiety, life direction, negative self-talk, and personal development.
I work with a deliberately small number of clients. I'm direct about who I can genuinely help — and who I cannot.
But if you're genuinely ready, this is exactly for you.
Because cocaine addiction has a very specific psychology — the confidence it creates, the social world it inhabits, the shame it carries. I understand that world from the inside, not from a textbook. Generalist therapists can help; a specialist who has lived it helps differently.
Most clients notice a meaningful shift in thinking within the first 4–6 sessions. Lasting recovery from cocaine addiction typically takes 3–6 months of committed work. The early sessions focus on stabilisation — you will feel the difference quickly.
Absolutely. Every session is entirely private. The only legal exception — which applies to all therapists — involves immediate risk of serious harm. Many of my clients are professionals for whom discretion is non-negotiable. I treat it that way.
Yes. All sessions are available via secure video call. I work with clients across Ireland and internationally. Many high-achieving clients specifically prefer online for the privacy and flexibility it offers.
Because specialist expertise costs more than general therapy — in every field. You are not paying for an hour of someone's time. You are paying for 5+ years of practice, a CBT degree, lived recovery experience, and a methodology that gets results others cannot.
A direct conversation at €20. I want to understand your situation; you deserve to understand how I work. There is no pressure and no obligation beyond that. If I believe I can help you, I'll say so clearly.
The first step is a private conversation. Apply for a consultation and let's find out if I'm the right specialist for you.
