About me and my therapy practice

I am a registered member of the BACP. As a qualified integrative counsellor, I can adapt my training to work with you in a way that best fits you and your needs. I offer a safe, confidential space for you to explore your situation in a non-judgemental environment. I believe there is always a way forward, no matter how hopeless or dark the situation appears. It is my goal to work with you so that you feel heard, understood and empowered to make changes in your life and move forward. My therapeutic approach is an integrative one, incorporating the principles of Person-Centred Therapy (a non-directive, empathetic approach that empowers clients to fulfil their own potential), and also incorporate CBT, when more specific guidance is required and appropriate.

About me and my therapy practice

I am currently providing either In-Person, telephone and/or Zoom counselling support for my clients.

As a professionally qualified accredited counsellor, my aim is to provide emotional support to deal with and overcome the issues that are causing you anxiety or distress. I am a professionally qualified therapist, offering Integrative/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, anger management, panic attacks, social anxiety, low self-esteem, bullying and sleep issues. Counselling sessions are weekly to meet the client's needs, in either her counselling room in Cullyhanna Co Armagh or WIN Business Park Newry. I will provide a safe and confidential setting to help you work through your problems.

I am here to listen and offer a non judgmental, genuine and helpful space. I use a combination of integrative and CBT techniques to help my clients understand the issues and teach them how they can control their emotions and moods by the way they think and process things. I am a BACP registered Counsellor & Psychotherapist practicing Integrative therapy.
