You may have arrived here because life feels heavy, confusing, or uncertain right now. Maybe you’re carrying something difficult, or you simply want space to breathe and make sense of how you feel.
Creative Wellbeing NI is a place where you can pause for a moment — where you don’t have to have all the answers.
Here, you’ll find understanding, kindness, and a quiet space to explore whatever you need to, in your own way and at your own pace.
Together, we can work towards easing the weight you carry and finding steadier ground beneath your feet.
The ways we can work together:
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
Talking therapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgement. Together, we can make sense of what’s been happening, understand yourself more deeply, and find new ways forward. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, loss, relationships, grief or simply feeling stuck, counselling provides time that’s just for you — a space to be heard, supported, and understood.
TELEPHONE and ON-LINE COUNSELLING
A counselling option for those who prefer counselling by telephone or on-line. I have a safe confidential space that I work from to ensure the same level of safety and privacy you would receive in a face to face setting. You don't have to travel to be heard, Creative Wellbeing NI offers flexible, accessible counselling from where you are.
CREATIVE COUNSELLING
Are you the type of person that doodles help you as you talk? Do you like your hands being busy? These sessions offer you a gentle way to be creative in the counselling room.
You can express what may be too painful or complex to put into words or simply make something as you talk. I use my training in art and counselling to facilitate these sessions with care and expertise.
No art skills are necessary.
This is about giving your inner world a different voice in a safe supportive space. Together we use creativity as a tool in the session. It can help you uncover and make sense of what words alone can not or it can be a new therapeutic skill you learn and take with you outside of the counselling room.
ART FOR SELF CARE
Creative practice is a proven form of self-care that supports mental health and nervous-system balance. Studies have shown that engaging in art-making can reduce cortisol levels, improve mood, and enhance focus -.benefits that occur regardless of artistic skill.
At Creative Wellbeing NI, we combine this science with compassionate guidance, offering a safe space where the world slows down as you take time out to rediscover the soothing rhythm of the creative process. Whether through painting, collage, or gentle mark-making, art invites you to breathe a little deeper and find calm through creative expression.
SMALL GROUP WORK
Our therapy room is small but this makes it perfect for small group sessions. Take a creative pause with self care art sessions designed to calm the mind, ease stress, and reconnect you to joy. A gentle space to relax, reconnect, and explore art as self-care. No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to slow down and create together.

When choosing to work with a counsellor it is important they have the appropriate training to support you and prioritise psychological safety in your counselling sessions.
I completed a degree in Fine and Applied Arts after secondary school and have worked for many years in the community in various roles.
I added a foundation degree in Integrative Counselling training to my skill set and I am delighted to offer services in both Talk Therapy and Creative Counselling.
I am a professional member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
At Creative Wellbeing NI, I hope to bring a compassionate and integrative approach to emotional and psychological wellbeing.
I currently work with adults only.
Counselling for children will be available later in the year.

Creativity is an additional intervention I use (with client permission) This includes activities such as creative writing, art-making, journalling, and mindful reflection. To avail of creative counselling, it's important to know that you don’t need to be 'good at art' — it’s about expression, not perfection. Together, we create space to ease stress, build resilience, and nurture calm in both mind and body.

In my world, I view creative counselling and art-making as gentle companions that provide pathways for emotional healing and help us understand ourselves with kindness and curiosity. By integrating my Foundation Degree in Integrated Counselling Practice with my BA Hons in Fine & Applied Art, I aspire to offer clients the chance to reconnect with their inner calm, restore balance to the nervous system, and rediscover meaning through authentic self-expression, much like the principles found in talk therapy.
