This time is for YOU
Just you. No-one else. For whatever you want support with.
I do my best to help you in whatever way you need, for the time we work together – usually 1.5 hours; occasionally 1 hour.
Sometimes just a single session is enough, but more often a series of 5 or more. Prices and packages outlined below.
I honestly believe that EVERYONE would benefit from this kind of support, but if you’re not sure, here’s the why, what and how:

How we work together
You can start by scheduling a free 15 minute discovery call to meet me, ask questions & feel into whether you’d like to work with me, while I get a sense of how I can support you
You decide if you’d like to schedule just one or a pack of sessions, then we find times that work for us both
For each session, you are welcome to come exactly as you are: you don’t need to prepare anything, do anything, or be anything
- We follow your agenda, not mine. We work as a team, for YOU
- This is your chance to ‘slow down’, tune in with intention, & face life’s challenges with support, openness & curiosity
- We focus on clarifying & understanding what really matters to you, what you truly long for, & the changes you wish to make
- Then, identify practical steps to fulfil those longings & make those changes
- We access inner wisdom & emotional intelligence, along with supportive presence & a huge collection of resources & skills to transform the challenges you face
- I hold everything in strict confidentiality, so you feel safe to share as much as YOU want
My toolkit
Each of us brings our unique history, situation, personality and intentions.
To meet you where you are and fully support your growth, I draw upon a variety of modalities

(Tap any for an introduction)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. We can heal and learn by accessing and healing these inner parts.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
NVC is both a collection of principles that support the development of a consciousness based on universal human values and needs as well as a practical, learnable process that helps people connect more deeply with themselves and others.
The Work of Byron Katie
A self-inquiry method that challenges negative thoughts and beliefs. It helps individuals question their thinking, shift perspectives, and find clarity, leading to greater inner peace and understanding. Simply ask 4 particular questions and apply the "turnarounds".
Re-evaluation Counselling
A peer-counseling method based on the premise that emotional healing occurs when we release distress through talking, crying, laughing, or other natural processes. It cultivates mutual support, active listening, and the reclamation of our innate intelligence, connection and capacity for joy.
And many more…
Pricing
I want to make these sessions accessible and sustainable, i.e. available to everyone who would benefit, regardless of income, and, at the same time, try to sustain myself financially.
So, I offer them at prices on a sliding scale:
- I invite you to contribute as generously as you are able, based on your own resources, an awareness of my needs, and the value received.
- Paying the higher end supports me to continue making this work available to those who can afford less.
- If the lower end is more than you can afford, or if you feel unclear about this, please contact me
Payments are made in advance and are non-refundable.

"The ripples from your work will certainly be felt and are much needed in our world today"
"You brought Nonviolent Communication to me and it was nothing short of saving my life"
"I consider the kinds of authentic communication that allow for actual human connection, which I’ve practiced with Donal, to be the most important stuff I've ever learned in this whole life.
I communicated much like anybody else and didn't know I was missing anything, and then this sort of work came along and opened. up. everything. "
"I cannot recommend Donal highly enough! His sessions were incredibly insightful and helped me to develop a deeper understanding of various aspects of NVC and Sociocracy … I really enjoy his relaxed style, directness, humour (especially in challenging moments). Interaction with him brought me desire to learn more, hope that there are gems of knowledge and skill that can bring greater and greater inner freedom and happiness in relationships "
