About me
I offer a highly confidential service in a tranquil, private rural setting located just 4 miles from Newry City centre (see photos). I have worked in the counselling field for over 20 years with adults, children and young people experiencing many of life's challenges. As an Integrative Counsellor I am able to adapt my training and experience to suit your own individual needs. To facilitate busy daily lives I negotiate appointment times where possible. I respect how important it is for you to find the right counsellor and thus offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation before you commit to the process.
I am a registered member of BACP (MBACP) and have worked extensively with Cruse Bereavement Care supporting children, young people and adults who have experienced loss (through illness, suicide, road traffic collisions and sudden death). I have also worked with NIACRO , The Simon Community and the Paulie Project and value my continued work with the Road Ahead Support Group.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
