How I work

I offer one-to-one, psychotherapeutic counselling for adults and young people. My work is based on an integrative, person-centred, whole-body approach which is designed to deal with both specific, on-going difficulties, and more deeply rooted, longer-term problems.

I draw on a variety of different counselling models and theories, so sessions can be tailored to meet your particular needs, and are built on the foundations of a close and trusting relationship between us. This enables the exploration of your problems in an empathetic and supportive environment, without fear of judgment or prejudice.

I am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCS), and I abide by their Code of Ethics. I engage in monthly clinical supervision and regular professional development, I am fully insured, and I hold an Enhanced Access NI Certificate.

Who I work with

My counselling experience is in private practice, as well as the voluntary and statutory sectors, where I have worked with adults and young people facing a range of problems including low mood, low self-esteem and confidence, stress, anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, insomnia and relationship issues.

I also have specific experience of working with carers, as well as individuals who have experienced trauma. In addition to this, I have extensive experience delivering mental health and wellbeing workshops to groups of all ages and abilities across Northern Ireland.

As a practising therapist and mental health trainer, I am committed to continuous professional development, attending conferences, workshops and training in a wide range of areas, including counselling practice, emotional and mental health, effective support and wellbeing.

This enables me to maintain best practice and to keep up to date with current research and changes in the field of Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
