About me and my therapy practice

Do you ever feel listened to but not heard? I will take time to listen and to hear you. Being heard and not just listened to brings a feeling of empowerment. Hello I have been a practising accredited counsellor for 20 years and am here to support you. I see each of my clients as individuals providing face to face, online or telephone therapy. I provide both long term and short term therapy.

As adults to be able to be there for others we need to understand and take time for ourselves. Therapy can provide this time and space to explore.

I see my role not just as a job but as a career I am passionate about and believe in. It fills me with pride for my clients when I see their self-esteem and confidence build which in turn allows them to have a voice which is heard.

In my time of working as a counsellor, I have set up and developed 2 bereavement services for children and their parents/guardians. These services were able to support young people not just through their grief but also through mental health difficulties.

I have also processed many referrals for ASD (Autism) assessments having recognised signs that an individual may be Autistic. I have also supported adults and young people post diagnosis of ASD in understanding and accepting themselves as true individuals.

I have also helped coordinate a service for adult victims of crime and set up a service for children who are direct and indirect victims of crime.

I provide training for over 380 professionals including the education system in Northern Ireland called “Lost Voices” which focuses on loss, grief, mental health and young people being able to have a voice and be heard.

Over the last 9 years, whilst working for a large hospice, I have been involved in many media projects such as ITV central news, CBBC Newsround.

I have development booklets to help families through difficult times and empowered a young person to write his own 76-page book and become an author at the age of 10 which reached number 1 best seller on Amazon UK and USA.

I also provide clinical supervision for other counsellors and school staff to help support them in their practice.
