I offer a safe space to talk about anything which may be of concern in your life, which we can then explore at your own pace, to make sense of things, resolve difficult feelings and make positive change. It can sometimes be difficult to talk to family and friends, and having someone to listen without judgement can make all the difference. Counselling can also help us to understand how the past has affected our present life and relationships, helping us to connect to who we really are and to be happier as our true self, which is our human birthright. Counselling can also enable a secure attachment which can help to heal past wounds.

CBT is a talking therapy based on the theory that thoughts, feelings, what we do and how our body feels are all connected. If we change on of these we can alter the others. When people feel worried or distressed we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding that can worsen how we feel. CBT works to help us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns. CBT has lots of strategies that can help you in the here and now. CBT has good evidence for a wide range of mental health problems and is a recommended therapy for Anxiety Disorders, panic, PTSD, OCD, Social Anxiety and Phobias, Anger & sleep problems.

I am a qualified and accredited counsellor with over 20 years experience. I work with both individual clients and couples ( I am a Relate Qualified Relationship Therapist) While there are many themes in counselling for example loss, trauma, crisis, ongoing mental health difficulties, relationship issues, life events or changes, each client is unique when they come to therapy. The most important things I can bring is to support and respect the processing of each clients experience, listen, to understand without judgement and with compassion.

Are you struggling with anxiety, negative thinking patterns/behaviours or intrusive thoughts through pregnancy, postnatal or in any stage of your parenting journey? Becoming a new parent can be extremely overwhelming, maybe you aren’t enjoying it the way you expected? Pregnancy or birth didn’t go to plan? Are you overwhelmed with parent guilt? Thinking you’re not doing a good enough job? Struggling to bond with your baby or don’t have a healthy relationship with your children/teenager or partner. You are not on your own, many parents feel this way but find it too difficult to talk about in fear of being judged.

Hi, I'm Lucie, a qualified play therapist, and I am currently working therapeutically with children aged 3–12 who are experiencing difficulties in a range of areas. These could including bullying, anxiety, ASD, low self-esteem, trauma, domestic violence and family separation, among others. I work alongside the child, understanding their individual needs and form of expression. I start by building a relationship based on trust and respect, and meet the child where they are. Trust, Respect and Safety allow the child to express their feelings, which further enables them and brings self awareness and confidence.

I am person-centred therapist with experience in supporting people going through a range of confusion and distress. This can include: anxiety and stress, family and relationship difficulties, sexuality and gender identity, low mood, loss, feeling stuck, and self esteem. Therapy can hopefully offer you a space to explore and connect with your true self. A reconnecting which in itself often helps to reduce tension and anxiety. We will work together with whatever you bring to therapy and gently explore your individual process as we go. I work online and outdoors (Fermanagh, NI).
