Throughout my career, I have been drawn to work that helps people learn, develop, overcome challenges, and thrive.

Whether working in early years settings, further education, disability support, or counselling, one question has always interested me:

Although the settings have varied, the focus has remained remarkably consistent: helping people better understand themselves and move forward with confidence.

My interest in human development, relationships, inclusion, and learning eventually led me towards counselling, which felt like a natural extension of work I had already been doing for many years.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and work within the BACP Ethical Framework.

Based in the Waterside area of Derry, I work with clients across BT47, BT48 and beyond, both face-to-face and online.

I believe people are more than the difficulties that bring them to counselling.

Whether someone is struggling with anxiety, confidence, relationships, burnout, identity, or life changes, there is always a wider story that deserves understanding.

My role is not to tell people who they should become.

My role is to create a supportive space where they can explore who they are, make sense of their experiences, and discover what matters most to them.
