I have over 27 years counselling experience. I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and an ACC Registered Counsellor. I have been practising as a counsellor since 1995. I have my own practice based in Lisburn and offer both short and long term counselling to individual clients. I have experience working in the Community/Voluntary sector, with the Health & Social Care Trust (EAP sector) and in Private Practice. Spending time in counselling can help you better understand who you are and what you would like out of life. It can also help you build better relationships, work through past losses and trauma, and set goals for the future.
I trained as a Person-centred therapist initially but work currently from a more integrative approach where I tailor interventions to suit client needs. I also offer a body-focused approach. I deal with abuse, anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress, relational issues, identity issues, low self-esteem, redundancy, trauma, work-related issues, ME.
I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space where you can openly talk about the issues that have brought you to counselling. I seek to build a warm, working alliance/relationship where you can tell your unique story and work through the thoughts, emotions and behaviours that trouble you. Each session lasts 50 mins and a six session review.

I often work with clients who may be struggling with bereavement generally 12 months after the death. Initially we will explore what the person meant to the client and whether the death was expected or not. Then we will look at the grief cycle and help them identify where they might be on the cycle. From there we will look at different 'tasks of mourning' and how to work through them.

I mostly use an integrative approach where I tailor interventions to suit individual client needs. I will often start with a very person-centred approach to build a rapport with clients and may move on to a more Cognitive Behavioural approach where clients can identify negative thought patterns and learn to dispute them. Sometimes I will move to a more body-focused approach to deal with trauma.
