I have been a Counsellor for 14 years and became accredited by the BACP in 2012, I specialise working with clients who have self-esteem, depression, anxiety issues. I specialise in working with those who have been bereaved, su***de intervention/prevention and postvention work and also working with children, adolescence and young adults. Coming to counselling may be difficult decision to make so I provide a friendly, caring, non-judgemental environment to help you achieve your goals. We have flexible appointments available, including evenings and weekends. Suicidal Ideation:
Prevention, intervention and postvention and being bereaved by su***de. Anxiety & Depression:
In Northern Ireland 1 in 5 of us will face a mental health problem sometime in our lives. Low Self Esteem:
Most children suffer alone with a sense of worthlessness. Many become adults with the same loneliness and sense of defeat
Stress:
One of the biggest problems causing absenteeism from school or lost days off work. Addiction:
Whether with alcohol, drugs, food or gambling lives fall apart and families hurt. Grief:
Feeling alone or not understood after the loss of someone. Life Transitions:
Often the most difficult part of life is fitting in after a significant move or change. Sexual orientation/LGBT
Trauma Related Issues:
Can result in the replay of unwanted horrible images, fear, isolation and
harm. Everyone has the right to be angry. It is more how you express anger and control it rather than it controlling you. Training, qualifications & experience:
