A warm welcome
Counselling Service, Newtownabbey.
Professional therapy for healing, growth & discovery.
With 10+ years experience & training, I offer bespoke counselling therapy from my busy private practice, Newtownabbey.
I work with a range of presentations, therapeutic modalities & clients, providing short & long term therapeutic support.
I have a strong client base supporting clients in successfully working through a range of presentations.
I offer a signature bespoke programme blending and integrating talking therapy, healing interventions, and various therapeutic techniques into my sessions, should it meet individual client need and personality.
I am currently deepening my understanding of trauma and the nervous system, studying an advanced 4 year training program with Somatic Experiencing Ireland.
I am to create a safe and supportive environment for healing, supporting clients to reconnect to sense of self and the world around them, I hold a strong belief that each person, giving the right conditions and support has the inherent ability to heal. Together, we can explore your unique journey towards living well.
As a professionally registered therapist, my role is to understand you, appreciate your personality, listen without judgment and use my skills in holistic and psychological therapies to help you find a way forward.
I respect the uniqueness in every individual applying a personally tailored and integrated approach to facilitate clients healing and growth, cultivating more positive feelings, thinking and behaviours.
Compassion focused.

As an integrated therapist, I incorporate various counselling approaches, including Person-Centered Counsellng, Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing into my sessions.
My trauma-informed somatic approach holds space for both your story and your nervous system, allowing for comprehensive healing. By blending these theories with unique framework, I aim to facilitate self-acceptance and promote a stronger sense of self while working through the issues presented. I tailor my approach to suit each individual's personality, ensuring that the therapy aligns with you rather than expecting you to align to the therapy.
I work with a wide range of clients of all ages and backgrounds, offering a nonjudgemental space helping clients achieve their personal and professional goals. I have training and experience in;
Abuse, addiction, attachment behaviours, alcoholism, anxiety, anger, baby loss, bereavement, behavioural patterns, bullying, childhood issues, compulsive disorders, confidence building, depression, developmental trauma, disorganised attachment, domestic violence, emotional distress, family problems, generalised anxiety disorder, grief, intimacy issues, job loss, life changes/adaption, loss, low moods, medical trauma, negative thoughts, panic attacks, relationships, relational trauma, sexual abuse, sexual issues, self-esteem, stress, trauma, work related issues.
Specialising in trauma and safety in the body, the essence of my work is to facilitate self-growth by helping you identify the core challenges and setbacks in your life, so that you can overcome them with confidence.
Empathy is at the core of my work.
