Counselling in Magherafelt

A therapeutic relationship is essential for optimum treatment and recovery. As a BABCP Accredited CBT therapist, my role is to help the person become their own therapist through utilising the therapeutic relationship. The person is an expert in their own life, thus my role is to help them navigate their difficulties by helping them develop the ability to look at alternative perspectives. In assisting in the treatment of lowered mood and anxiety, CBT helps establish and build upon coping strategies. In doing so we focus on one of the main drivers of mental illness, low self-esteem, as well as other sources of difficulties.

I have 10 years post-qualification experience supporting clients with a range of issues, including grief and loss in its many forms. I have worked with Cruse Bereavement Care since 2011 as counsellor in the community, within prisons & as a trainer. I support clients manage their anxiety; depression; self-esteem; unhelpful thinking; adverse childhood experiences; sexuality and gender identity; abuse and risk of abusing; relationships - breakdowns, improving them & changing unhelpful patterns.  I have worked extensively with adolescents in school and college settings and with adults from a diversity of backgrounds.

I am an integrative counsellor working with both adolescents and adults. I draw from different theories of counselling as this allows me to tailor the therapy to best meet the needs of my clients.
