Not all storms come to destroy your life, some arrive to clear your path.

Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy in Derry, Donegal, and Online via Zoom.

Therapy in a safe, comfortable and private setting

As an integrative counsellor with 30 years experience across a range of life issues I currently provide counselling/psychotherapy and hypnotherapy sessions from locations in Derry and Donegal. I see my role as a therapist initially to create a safe space for clients who are living through past events or indeed present life experiences that cause distress. However, you do not have to be in crisis before choosing therapy. You may be experiencing feelings of dissatisfaction with life in general or trying to bring balance to your life and spirituality.

Lifespan Integration Therapy

Lifespan Integration Therapy for adults who experienced abuse or neglect during childhood


It is well known by therapists that adults who experienced abuse or neglect in childhood often spend years in therapy emoting and talking about their past traumatic experiences, yet they still have trouble moving beyond these past traumas.

Lifespan Integration Therapy is a new technique which promotes rapid healing in adults who experienced abuse or neglect during childhood. For those seeking help or needing further information regarding Li Therapy please phone and I’ll be happy to answer any questions and provide further information.

Since 1993 I have been working as a therapist in the Northwest of Ireland. Over the period of my career in counselling and psychotherapy I have incorporated in to my practice additional skills using a variety of approaches helping clients explore blocked areas of their inner self, gradually moving to a place of self acceptance and positive life change. I am a registered hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner with a specific interest in helping clients overcome addictions. In addition to the therapeutic work I have over twenty years experience as a Relate clinical supervisor working with counsellors and psychotherapists in their professional development and practice.

My Qualifications
  • BSc (Hons) Psychology
  • Dip’ Applied Social Sciences
  • Relate CC
  • Dip’ Addiction Studies (UUM)
  • NLP Certified Practitioner (INLPTA)
  • Relate Registered Clinical Supervisor (Herbert Grey College)
  • Hazelden International Certified Addiction Counsellor (White Oaks)
  • Accreditations: BACP Sen’ Accredited Counsellor/ Psychotherapist
  • Certified Hypnotherapist – GHR Registered

In the event where I am not the most appropriate choice for your needs beyond our initial assessment I can provide information on other therapists and health professionals who can offer alternative support such as residential treatments and associate charitable counselling organisations who provide free or low cost counselling services.

For clients wishing to have hypnotherapy a more detailed assessment is required as some underlying factors may determine hypnotherapy as the best option. Please note that I do not offer hypnosis for entertainment purposes and can only offer general hypnotherapy within the guidelines of the GHSC. For further information on Hypnotherapy please phone me directly and I can provide more detailed information before proceeding.
