Pauline Montgomery Counselling

I hold a BA (Hons) degree in Psychology from Queen's University Belfast, a Postgraduate Diploma in Guidance & Counselling from Ulster University and a Master of Education (MEd) degree in Counselling from Queen's University Belfast. I have also completed a Certificate in Cognitive Therapy Methods (Level 4, CCEA). I have over 30 years experience of working with a wide range of client issues, including depression, anxiety, panic, stress, adverse childhood experiences, family problems, bullying, relationship difficulties, pregnancy related issues, workplace/employment/academic issues, bereavement and loss, self-esteem & self-confidence, living with cancer, life changes or crises. I have also worked in a variety of settings over the years, including Higher Education, Adult Mental Health, Youth Work, Secondary & Primary Healthcare. For many years, I worked one day a week as a counsellor in the University Health Centre at Queen's, and in private practice the rest of the week, but I left the Health Centre at the end of March 2020, and now work solely in private practice. Clients are seen in the confidential setting of a purpose built office behind my home. I am registered and accredited with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
