About me

At Skirmish Counselling, I offer integrative counselling because you are unique and therefore you deserve a unique, individually tailored plan for your therapy. I offer a blend of different therapies, such as solution-focused techniques from CBT to support individual control, confidence, and resilience, person-centred therapy to understand complex or overwhelming emotions, and psychodynamic therapy to explore your past experiences. 

Training, qualifications & experience

Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice, Level 4 Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory, and a Level 7 BSc Honors degree in therapeutic communication and counselling studies.

I have 6 years' experience working with Clients (Young People & Adults) within the Belfast Trust, West Wellbeing Suicide Prevention, and the Arzen Collective. I have received CPD training on trauma-informed practice, crisis management, narrative understanding, Diet & nutrition, and more.
