I offer a space to speak freely
and explore what is happening for you without being
judged. Counselling can help us move on from painful
life situations and past hurt and value ourselves.
Originally from northern Ireland, I have travelled
widely before settling in France where I have lived for
twenty six years. I welcome diversity and have worked
widely in couples counselling and personal therapy with
people from the international community.
Sessions take place
in my office at Place de Gaulle in the centre of Antibes
or online. The hourly rate is 50e.
My work includes the following specialisms:
*Building strong relationships
*Trauma and stress due to a range of reasons, unsafe
childhood or other past experience
*Expressing anger, understanding panic and anxiety
*Work-related stress
*Grief and bereavement
*Self-recovery from physical or emotional abuse*Survival
of life-threatening illnesses or situations
*Trust and change for couples
As a therapist I maintain my honesty during our
therapeutic work without judging you. In my experience
of the therapeutic process, with the right conditions in
which a person feels listened to and understood they
will gradually optimise their own strength and
recognise their own identity to decide on how they want
to move forward with their own life. Growth and change
are possible when respecting the other person's own pace
on their journey into themselves, as they gain insight
into life's difficulties and face other problems that
may arise in the future.
I work for inclusion of diversity
and have experience with people of varied backgrounds,
nationalities, lifestyles, beliefs, sexual orientations
and age-groups. I am used to working with people far
from home and the issues of belonging that this can
bring up.
As a qualified therapist I am an accredited member of
the French Person Centred Association (AFP-ACP) and I
abide by their code of ethics. I am also a member of the
European Network for Person-Centred and Experiential
Psychotherapy and and Associate member of the Centre for
Studies of the Person La Jolla CA.
