verified by TherapyRoute

An experienced integrative therapist who works from a compassionate, person centred focus. Over 25 years experience working with self-harm, suicide & addiction.

About Me

This experienced integrative psychotherapist provides a compassionate, person-centred space. With over 25 years’ experience, they guide individuals navigating self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and addiction. Their approach supports clients in exploring complex emotions at their own pace. This creates a safe, understanding environment where new coping strategies can emerge. They offer a steady guide towards lasting stability and well-being.

Approach

My steady guidance looks like paced, attentive sessions that let you bring what matters most and set the agenda at your speed. Based in Derry and available online in English, I offer a calm structure—brief safety checks, reflective listening and practical planning—that holds complexity around self-harm, suicidal thoughts and addiction. Between sessions I share simple grounding practices or collaborative notes to help you notice small shifts. This approach suits people wanting clear, compassionate containment while building steady coping and healthier relationships.
