About me

I work one-to-one with adults, offering embodied, nature-informed counselling and psychotherapy, in-person at my premises in Omagh, at Body Conscious studio in Belfast or outdoors in natural, local spaces. I do also have the facility to work online via Zoom.

I believe that our thoughts happen in our minds, and our emotions happen in our bodies. So, my sessions will be a combination of talking about your thoughts and feelings, as well noticing what your body is communicating, and working directly with that too. This might involve meditation, movement and creative techniques. Therapy of this kind can bring about real personal growth as you gain insight into yourself, in a safe, non-judgmental space, through both mind and body.

I am a supportive and empathic listener and observer for my clients, throughout times of distress, confusion, loss and despair. The relationship between me and my clients is based on trust, honesty and respect, and this is at the very heart of my counselling.

What to expect: I work from a peaceful and private indoor therapy room at my premises just outside Omagh, Co Tyrone. I also offer sessions at Body Conscious studio in Belfast as well as outdoors using natural spaces where I find the presence of nature and the element of movement can really help you process and reflect on what you are going through.

How I can help: My approach is especially resonant with people who have strong physical experiences of their feelings, or perhaps those who find connection and healing in nature. I have experience of working with clients with anxiety, long-term medical conditions, depression, despair, loss and relationships issues. I regularly attend continued professional development training courses to further expand my experience and develop my awareness and practice. As an Embodied Psychotherapist, I can help you work through emotions stored in your body, which can be especially helpful if you find it hard to talk and open up. Where appropriate I use meditation and guided visualisation with clients, particularly where clients are exploring their spirituality or deeper inner self.

I am proud to support the LGBTQ+ community as an ally.
