About me
My counselling practice is embedded in Humanistic Person‑Centred Therapy. I believe that everyone has an innate capacity for growth, healing, and self‑understanding when provided with an optimal environment. I offer a safe, trusted and confidential space where clients can explore their emotions, increase self‑awareness, and feel empowered to make self‑directed changes.
Using an integrative approach, I also use experience and tools from other counselling modalities such as Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailored to the needs of my clients.
My practice is called Suaimhneas Counselling, (see weblink for further details), and in Irish this means peace or tranquility. Taking the first steps and reaching out for support can often be one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves and hopefully lead us to a place of inner peace and fulfilment.

Registered member of BACP (member number 420297)
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.
