I have availability Monday - Friday 9am -5pm.  If you choose to contact me by phone and I do not answer then please feel free to leave a voicemail or send a text and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sometimes the thought of counselling can be frightening. You might believe that, if you really say how you feel, others might think you are crazy. So you just get on with it and tell yourself that everything is okay or it will get better... one day.

Talking things through with a qualified counsellor can help you to understand your thoughts and emotions. We will begin to recognise how unhelpful thoughts can affect us emotionally and physically as well as impacting on our behaviour.  These unhelpful thoughts can often hold us back from living in a more engaged and successful way.  As I am also a qualified Life Coach, we can work together so that you can begin to live more effectively as an individual and socially, in your everyday life.

I offer short and long term counselling to adults and young people. I am also a recognised practitioner with the private health insurance company Axa Health.

I am a Registered and Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ) and the Northern Ireland Counselling Forum. I also hold an up-to-date Certificate of Enhanced Disclosure with Access NI and Civil Liability Insurance.

I work in two GPs' surgeries in the Armagh area and I offer private one-to-one sessions in a separate location. Please feel free to contact me with any questions so that we can consider whether or not my service will best suit your needs. If we find that other services may be of more benefit I am happy to discuss this with you and either signpost you or provide you with suitable literature to help you make that decision.
