Suicidal Ideation Counselling in Belfast

It can be a huge step to decide to talk to a counsellor/psychotherapist about personal issues so it is important to find someone you are comfortable with, who will not judge you but accept you for who you are. I offer office based and/or telephone therapy. In my experience as a therapist I have found that when someone senses that he or she is being listened to at a deep level in an atmosphere of acceptance and empathy, a very powerful and liberating positive momentum can be achieved. Therapy can be a journey. For some it can be a chance to talk about surviving abuse and trauma, providing a platform to gain more control over life

Hello and welcome to my profile. I am a qualified and accredited Integrative Counsellor working out of Antrim and Belfast. My approach is warm, genuine and supportive. I endeavour to ensure you feel safe and secure whilst you explore issues that are causing disharmony, distress and perhaps overwhelm in your life. Working Integratively means I use a variety of approaches which include Humanistic, CBT & Psychodynamic. Every client Is different so my approach is tailored to suit each of your unique individual needs.

I work extensively with suicide ideation, self harm, anxiety, depression, sexual/physical/emotional abuse, amongst a vast range of presenting issues. Every person is unique, therefore my integrative approach is tailored to meet your individual needs. It is very common to experience low mood/anxiety without understanding why, or to feel completely overwhelmed by a simplistic task. This does not mean "I am weak", "I'm not good enough". Exploration will help you identify any possible triggers, implementation of coping strategies will help you manage any symptoms, and a collaborative plan will help you move forward.

As a senior member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and a Fellow of the National Counselling Society my primary aim is to ensure my clients feel safe.

At any one time, I provide counselling training to approximately 50 counsellors training to degree level, therefore drawing on a wide array of experience. My main areas of expertise are suicide , trauma, and addiction, with particular interest and vast experience in working with couples with relationship problems.

If you are in the process of considering counselling/psychotherapy then finding the right therapist is the most important decision to make. Research shows positive therapeutic outcomes are based on the relationship between therapist and client. A good way of assessing if we can work well together is attending a free of charge session; no commitment beyond this, to see if I can help you to identify further what your needs are.

Our counselling session on offer can focus on issues such as the following: ​ Bereavement, anxiety & depression, body & gender dysmorphia, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, low self-esteem & self-confidence, abuse, family issues, relationship breakdowns, crisis counselling, LGBT+ issues, trauma. ​ Our view is that the relationship between the client and the counsellor is integral in developing a therapeutic approach tailored specifically to the individual. You can work with us in confidence that we can both find out exactly what you need.

Hi, my name is Peter Clarke. Sometimes we just need to talk to someone outside of our circle. Someone who will listen to us and not advise us. Someone who will offer empathy and acceptance, not judgment and condemnation. In short, sometimes we need to speak to someone who will listen to us, and help us become the person we wish to be. This is the person i am to my clients.
