Meet the Therapist

Hello, my name is Jackie and I am a BACP accredited counsellor with NI Counselling. I have been working as a therapist since 2017 supporting adults with a range of issues in a range of settings. As an accredited therapist, my aim is to offer you a safe, confidential space that is only about you, to help process events either from the past or in the present, aiding healing and personal growth in a non-biased, non-judgemental setting.  I have a particular interest in trauma and the impact that can become embedded in our everyday life. I can support you with your personal journey by having someone listen to your needs in a way that leaves you feeling respected and accepted as an individual. I offer a professional, warm and confidential service to enable people to live the life they want to, empowered and informed to make the choices and move forward.

In the end, it’s not what happens to us that matters most – it’s what we choose to do with it. Sometimes the hardest way to show up for ourselves is to ask for help
