Have you been struggling with how you feel? Maybe it is anxiety, depression, or a general emptiness in life. Would you like to better understand what is driving these feelings? Do you need the opportunity to be listened to, understood, and heard? We rarely get this in our lives, however counselling can provide this. Counselling creates a safe space where you will be able to share with me what is happening in your life. I can offer you a compassionate, attuned, and sensitive relationship where we can bring awareness to the source of these feelings. Through this awareness, understanding and acceptance, change happens.

I offer face to face sessions at a convenient location on the Lisburn Road, and I currently have availability on a Thursday evening.
Hi, I’m Jill! Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, and for taking the first step in looking for some support. It can be hard to know what you’re looking for when you first reach out for some help, so I’ll tell you a little about myself, and you can decide if we may be a good fit.

I offer therapy sessions in-person on land of Ireland, as well as online , globally, and work to clients availability.
Hi, I’m a psychotherapist (BscHons) with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over two decades of experience walking alongside people on their journey towards self-understanding and growth. But beyond the qualifications, I bring something just as important to the therapy room: real, lived experience. I know first that life isn’t always straightforward, and therapy isn’t a quick fix—but if you’re willing to stick with it, deep, lasting change is absolutely possible.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, which means I look at the whole of your experience, not just the immediate problem or symptom. That means we can explore how different parts of your life connect and impact each other, rather than focusing only on quick fixes. The aim is to create space for deeper understanding and meaningful, lasting change.

I offer in-person appointments on Fridays on Upper Newtownards Road, and Sunday's on Antrim Road.
I’m an integrative counsellor with over 15 years’ experience supporting people through a wide range of challenges. I can also work with issues around sex and pornography, alcohol, drugs, and other behaviours that can start to impact relationships and everyday life. Sometimes people come to counselling because of something happening right now — maybe relationship struggles, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions and behaviours that are hard to manage. Other times, it’s about difficult experiences from the past that still feel very present and hold you back.

Taking expressions of interest for in-person sessions.
Hi, I’m an integrative counsellor offering support to adults and 16+ in a way that’s down-to-earth, adaptable, and focused on what really matters to you. You might imagine therapy as someone asking, “And how did that make you feel?” But I believe it should be much more than that. Therapy can be challenging, practical, and focused—while still offering the space to be seen, understood, and emotionally supported. I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can talk about what’s going on—at your own pace. It’s a place where you don’t have to filter or pretend. I’ll meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.

I have lots of differing experiences of working with people therapeutically, including in person, on line and over the phone.
Maybe you feel stuck, or life feels overwhelming. Perhaps there's something in your past you would like to make sense of, or a situation that is troubling you now. You long for someone to listen to your story and to "get" you. To journey with you as you make sense of what has happened, or is happening to you currently. Or you would just like to feel better! Most of all, you just want to move forward, to have peace. To hope again. I will hold that hope for you as we journey together. I offer a safe space to process, as well as a warm and empathetic presence. My goal is for you to feel seen, valued and find healing.

I work face-to-face in my 1st-floor office in East Belfast from 9 am to 9 pm, Mon to Fri.
Are you struggling to cope with a significant event or change in your life? Sometimes trying to navigate through life alone can be confusing, and speaking to friends and family can often be too difficult. Talking to a neutral counsellor can provide you with the support you need. I have worked as a counsellor with Cruse Bereavement, helped navigate suicidal ideation in Pips, and completed Relate training to help with relationship difficulties and better understanding of emotions and old relational patterns. I am an integrative therapist and a member of BACP.
