What to Expect
At your first appointment you will get a feel for the therapy process and I will confirm if I feel further sessions would be beneficial. You can expect a relaxed, comfortable conversation; this will allow me to get to know you a little bit so that I can outline the help that I can provide and also so that you can decide if therapy at my practice is right for you.
​
I offer one to one support in a safe environment where I will listen in a non-judgmental way and help you to understand yourself better. This will create within you a deeper self-awareness, allowing you to explore options, contemplate change and take steps to feel well within. I will give you a listening ear, emotional support and potentially you will go on a journey of self-discovery which will be life changing. ​

Face to Face
I offer counselling at my office in Dunadry (BT41), Northern Ireland which is located in a central location with easy access to all regions. I am a 25 minute direct car journey from Belfast in a country setting which offers a private and safe space with parking and toilet facilities available. I provide a confidential service in a very private, comfortable and tranquil setting, allowing you to have the space you need.
Online
I offer online counselling via Zoom which allows you to access counselling without the additional time to commute and can be very convenient for those who live further afield. I have worked with clients worldwide from Canada, US, Thailand, Dubai and countries across Europe. I also offer phone counselling if that is more convenient for you.
Whether you have suffered a recent or past negative life experience(s), are in a difficult relationship and want to work out how to best move forward and/or have suffered debilitating symptoms such as low mood and anxiety for example, I can help you to navigate a path that leads to positive mental health and wellbeing. I can help you to make sense of whatever you have and are going through, so that you can find a way forward and create for yourself improved emotional wellbeing.

You can then schedule a further appointment or take time to think about booking further sessions; the process is flexible in terms of how many sessions you would like as well as the timing and frequency. Some feel they want a few weekly appointments first before stretching these to fortnightly, then less frequently with time. Others start with fortnightly appointments. This is unique to everyone; dependent on what’s going on for you & I believe you will know what makes sense.​

Life at times can be difficult, maybe you have been hurt by others, are in pain, are confused or uncertain, want to change or just need someone to listen and talk with. Sometimes it’s difficult to talk to family and friends… I am an independent ear, someone you can share your thoughts and feelings with, so that you can better understand where you are in your life and take steps to move forward.
​
My practice is based on providing you with the help and support that you need for what may be a difficult time. I tailor my sessions to each individual, this means that you will gain the most from your counselling, having the confidence that it’s suited to your unique needs and fits with your personality.
​
This typically might include;

exploring an event(s) from your past, considering your views, thoughts and feelings and/or

providing you with support right now for whatever is happening in your life and/or
