Angela is a fabulous therapist. She always listens to me and is never judgmental. She does however tell me off when I need it, but always explains why and helps me get on the right path again. Sometimes we just talk, not about anything in particular, but as friends. Having her as a therapist has been one of the best things in my life and she is always willing to help when I need her.

Hi and thank you for looking at my profile. I began my career as a befriender working with clients who had a range of issues as a result of the troubles in NI including; stress, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, domestic/sexual abuse, other. Working with these clients their fortitude inspired me to commence my career as a counsellor .
My training was in Carl Rodger Person Centered, whose core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard remain at the heart of all my work, however, this approach did not suit the work I needed to do with clients and as a result a lot of my work involves the cognitive behavioural model, but I use other modalities as needed to meet the needs of my clients.
During my 22 year career I have worked as an addictions counsellor for 10 years, 4 of these in a local prison. My experience includes work with concerns including; panic attacks, depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, domestic/sexual abuse, stress, trauma,/PTSD, bereavement, anger management, domestic violence male/female., ex-prisioners, other.
During the last ten years I have trained in Reiki, Sound Healing, Reflexology, and Indian Head Massage and continue to explore healing modalites that are of benefit to clients overall wellbeing.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I am very fortunate to have Angela as my therapist. She really listens to what I have to say and helps me understand how to deal with issues I am currently dealing with. She always checks in with me between sessions just to see if I am alright, and always replies to my messages when I contact her. I think she is great!
Angela has been a great help to me. She listen s to me and has helped me learn a lot about myself. I really look forward to our weekly video session and she always checks in in me at the begging of the weekend.
Angela is a good therapist. I trust her and her judgement.
