About me
Sometimes life becomes difficult to make sense of. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or a significant change in your life. Perhaps you feel stuck in familiar patterns, find yourself questioning who you are, or have a sense that something isn’t quite right without knowing exactly why.
I’m Jonnie, a counsellor, psychotherapist and group worker based near the beautiful Mourne Mountains. I offer a confidential, thoughtful and inclusive space where you can explore what’s happening in your life, understand your experiences and consider what might change.
You don’t need to arrive with all the answers, or even know exactly where to begin. We can start with whatever feels most important to you.
My approach to therapy
I see therapy as a collaborative process, grounded in the relationship we develop together. My approach is integrative and relational, drawing on different therapeutic perspectives to meet your individual needs.
Our work might involve exploring current difficulties, making sense of past experiences, understanding patterns in relationships, or finding ways to relate differently to yourself and others. Sometimes it helps to focus on a particular problem; at other times, there is value in exploring things more deeply and allowing a clearer understanding to emerge over time.
I won’t presume to know what is best for you. My role is to listen, ask questions, offer reflections, and help you explore your experiences with curiosity and care. I believe that feeling heard and understood can create space for greater self-awareness, new perspectives and meaningful change.
I welcome adults from diverse backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, sexual orientations and gender identities. I aim to offer a space where you can explore your experiences openly, without fear of judgement or pressure to conform to someone else’s expectations.
Taking the first step
Getting in touch with a therapist can feel daunting, especially if you’re not used to talking about what’s troubling you. You don’t need to have everything worked out before making contact.
If you’re considering counselling or psychotherapy, you’re welcome to get in touch to discuss what brings you to therapy and whether working together might feel right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I am listed on their Professional Standards Authority Accredited Register.
I completed my primary clinical training at Keele University in England in 2015, where I was awarded an MSc in Counselling Psychology (with distinction).
I have undertaken additional further therapeutic training in Group Analysis and was awarded the Institute of Group Analysis Diploma in Group Work Practice in 2025. I was awarded Group Work Practitioner status by the Institute of Group Analysis in 2026.
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.
