Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy. I have been learning and practising psychotherapy since finishing my Psychology degree in 2003. I have worked in Valencia, Barcelona, London and now I am back from where I began in my home town in Northern Ireland. I have so much passion for my profession and I am humbled and in awe of the many clients, I have had the opportunity to work with throughout the years. Every client who comes to see me has their own unique story and place in the world and together we work through traumas, manage anxiety, grieve or let go of the past. I find that with my client we work naturally and work with what the client brings to the session in a very organic and creative fashion. I love how solution-focused practice encourages the clients to think of the outcome of therapy and to allow those best wishes to act as a guide throughout. Some clients only have a few sessions with me others stay and enjoy a monthly check-in as part of their self-care. Reiki
I had my first reiki treatment about 20 years ago in my hometown of Limavady in Northern Ireland. I connected immediately to it and after the session I felt peaceful, calm and boy did I sleep that night. It was a few years later when I started my own journey into reiki when I came across a mindfulness centre in Edinburgh. Reiki came in and out of my life quite sporadically for years, and yet it always found me. I imagine if you are reading this then you have stumbled upon reiki too. I always get asked what is reiki, and while I can give the technical answer, “Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.”, I don’t feel I am ever really answering the question. It is not something to be explained in simple terms, it is more something to be experienced. Many people experience a feeling of calmness, peacefulness during and after a reiki session. Often a practitioner can ‘pick up’ on ailments or injury. It is a beautiful way to practice self-care and to take care of your wellbeing. Reiki can help with a wide array of emotional and physical symptoms and can have some quite profound results. It can also simply be a bit of me-time where you can relax and allow the energy to do what it needs to do.
