Counselling in Lisburn

If you are interested in counselling feel free to contact me for a free 20 min consultation. I am a Chartered Psychologist with The Psychological Society of Ireland. I am also accredited with the BACP. I have 25 years experience of working in a wide range of settings including the statutory, voluntary & private sector.

Have you wanted to change things in your life but don't know where to start? Do you have difficulty dealing with your thoughts? Do you feel shame or guilt often? Are you self- critical? I work with people to support and empower them to understand what's going on for them, identifying what may help them to enjoy life again. For some that may be gaining self-confidence, feeling less stressed/anxious/stuck or simply better sleep . Counselling can feel scary but can be the first important step in investing in yourself. I will move at your pace, offering a non-judgemental, calm, kind space for you to explore what's challenging you.

I have experience with working with various issues in clients aged 18+. I specialise in working with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression and addiction.

I believe that every session is about the client and for the client. as such I will do my upmost to tailor the sessions to you and your needs.
