About me
Thanks for visiting my profile!
I am an experienced integrative therapist and work with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, low mood, trauma, loneliness, family and relationship issues, and addiction. In my practice, I work with adults and also specialised in working with children and young people.
I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space to explore any difficulties or challenges you are facing. I offer support and insight that can help you develop new ways of coping. I hope to guide you towards feeling well, understood, and able to make positive changes in your life.
I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation prior to booking a counselling session and an opportunity for you to ask any questions about how I work and my practice.
I offer sessions in person and online. LGBTQIA+inclusive
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked as a counsellor for over ten years, providing therapy through local counselling organisations in Northern Ireland-Jigsaw and UHUB. In Scotland, I worked for The Spark and UK wide organisation, Place2be, that supported families and children therapeutically.
I am experienced in 1-1 therapy and group work, delivering face-to-face and online. I am trained in psychodynamic and person-centred therapy, and also in non-directive play therapy.

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.
