I have been in private practice for over 8 years. I first came to counselling when I suffered a personal crisis. I found it really beneficial to talk to someone and I felt called to become a counsellor myself so I could guide and help others in times of need.
I also have 25 years experience working in the corporate sector, including 10 years as a manager, mentor and team leader with a global professional services company.
I’m interested in mindfulness based interventions as part of the therapeutic process and how these can improve awareness of physical, emotional and mental patterns. I have attended a teacher training retreat with the Oxford Mindfulness Centre.
I sit on the Board of Directors of a NI charity giving support and advice to male victims of domestic abuse.
