I hold a BA (Hons) degree in Psychology from Queen's University Belfast (1984), a Postgraduate Diploma in Guidance & Counselling from the University of Ulster (1987) and a Master of Education (MEd) degree in Counselling from Queen's University Belfast (2003).

In 2011, I also completed a Certificate in Cognitive Therapy Methods (Level 4, CCEA).

I have over 30 years experience of working with a wide range of client issues, including depression, anxiety, panic, stress, adverse childhood experiences, family problems, bullying, relationship difficulties, pregnancy related issues, self-esteem & self-confidence,  workplace/employment/academic issues, bereavement and loss, living with cancer, life changes or crises.

I have worked in a variety of settings over the years, including Higher Education, Adult Mental Health, Youth Work, Secondary & Primary Healthcare.

I have been an Accredited Counsellor with BACP since 2005.

For many years, I worked one day a week as a counsellor in the University Health Centre at Queen's, and in private practice the rest of the week, but I left the Health Centre at the end of March 2020, and now work solely in private practice. Private clients are seen in the confidential setting of a purpose built office behind my home. It is at ground level and has ample parking space.
