Counselor

About Me

I am a fully accredited counsellor with over 15 years' experience in mental health. I offer a warm, supportive space for both children and adults. My approach blends person-centred care with practical CBT tools. I often invite creative ways to explore feelings. This helps you discover new perspectives and build lasting coping skills. For adults and children, I create a safe, understanding environment.

Approach

You’ll notice sessions are relaxed and focused, combining empathic listening with CBT-informed steps and creative experiments to help name feelings and shift unhelpful patterns. In my Stranorlar room in Donegal I work with children, adolescents and adults at a pace that feels safe—sessions often include simple tasks or art-based reflections between meetings. We review progress together and adapt techniques to suit mood or anxiety as they arise. Many find this practical, gentle approach helpful when they want steady, achievable change.
