I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address issues such as; anxiety, depression, lack of coping skills, self esteem, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), anger management and worry.
Life is a journey with enjoyable experiences, but also with challenges, setbacks, pressures and ill-health. It is important that during difficult times you are able to speak to someone who listens, is non-judgemental, caring, confidential, competent and supportive in helping you to move forward. I aim to be that person. As a member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists, I work in accordance with their Code of Ethics for good practice, to ensure the safety and well-being of my clients. Counselling takes place in a private, safe and tranquil rural location, one mile from Omagh.

I have been working with young people and adults since 2011 and have a wide range of experience in dealing with many issues such as abuse, addiction, anger issues, anxiety, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, unemployment, and many more.
I work as an integrative counsellor and this allows me to tailor my therapy to each individual's needs, for example, the Person Centred approach allows you as the client to decide the pace of counselling and what is most important for you to talk about each week, whereas CBT is more structured and focused and allows us to work together to achieve your goals.

Self Esteem Counsellors
When should a person seek therapy for low self-esteem?
When self-esteem problems begin to disrupt the healthy daily functioning of an individual, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not engaging with friends for fear of being judged, not completing work assignments because they don’t think they’re capable, or not finding romantic love because they don’t feel they’re worthy of it, a therapist may be able to help.

What are the signs of low self-esteem?
Low self-esteem is a common issue that can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. Some common signs of low self-esteem include negative self-talk, perfectionism, social anxiety, difficulty making decisions, an inability to set boundaries, people-pleasing, and others. A lack of belief in oneself or one’s abilities and a feeling of not being worthy or deserving underlie most of these characteristics.

What causes low self-esteem?
Feelings of low self-worth can begin in childhood or adulthood. Being raised by a highly critical parent or growing up feeling constant disapproval can stay with a person well into adulthood. Specific issues in adulthood may also be a cause of low self-esteem. An unhappy relationship, a dysfunctional work or school experience can impact a person’s feelings of self-worth.

How can therapy improve self-esteem?
Therapists can help identify negative thought patterns that keep the client stuck in a loop of destructive self-talk and develop coping skills to change the voice in their head. A therapist can help with goal-setting, so that clients are better able to stay on task and build confidence from successfully completing work they’re proud of. Coaching a client on how to better communicate can improve relationships. These skills can result in someone with low self-esteem feeling empowered and living with less fear.
