I began my journey in counselling in 2003 and am a fully accredited therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I hold two Master’s degrees: one in Counselling and Psychotherapy and another in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In addition, I am trained in EMDR and trauma-focused approaches.



My work is rooted in supporting young people, with a particular specialism in trauma. I have worked locally and internationally within organisations to support adult and children’s emotional and psychological wellbeing, providing both direct therapeutic support and consultation. I have extensive experience within the charity sector in Northern Ireland and have been lecturing for 15 years. I am also currently completing a third Master’s degree in Psychology, continuing to deepen my knowledge and clinical practice.



Alongside my professional work, I am a dedicated practitioner of yoga and meditation, both of which support my wellbeing and therapeutic presence. My greatest teacher, however, is my 10-year-old daughter—she constantly reminds me of the importance of presence, curiosity and play.
