Belfast BT4
Consultant Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience across specialist mental health services. I provide evidence-based therapy for difficulties including trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, self-esteem issues and longstanding relational or emotional patterns. My clinical specialism is supporting people to resolve trauma that often underpins psychological distress and can contribute to longstanding emotional and relational patterns affecting self-worth, relationships, coping styles and emotional wellbeing into adult life.
I integrate accredited schema therapy, EMDR, CBT, ACT, Compassion-Focused Therapy and humanistic approaches to support meaningful and lasting psychological change. Therapy is collaborative, compassionate and tailored to your individual needs, difficulties and goals.
Seeking therapy can feel daunting. I aim to provide a warm, professional and confidential space where difficulties can be explored safely and collaboratively. Following assessment, we will develop a shared understanding of your needs and agree a therapy plan focused on your goals and desired outcomes. Free telephone consultation available.
