I am a Clincal Manager for a family services agency and owner/operator of Celtic Counselling Services. I use EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Hypnotherpay, Minfulness, Healing Touch and more. No issue is too big or too small. It is the meaning of the issue and the impact that counts.
I am Irish born and bred and live out side of the city limits in the sticks with my partner and two dogs. I have 5 wonderful adult children.
I believe that everyone wants to be happy;sometimes our shadows from the past eclipse our our brightness and our fear of bad things happening gets in the way of us stepping into our own power. Counselling is a way for you to recongnize your own strenth and to help you be all you can be and to find your passion.
I work with individuals who have been abused or abuse, who have been traumatized (and we all have experienced trauma at some time) and consult with people we call clients to help them find ways to honour their abilities. I am not the expert - th4e client is the expert in their own lives.
I am interested in best practice models and also in alternative healing techniques. and am a student of Celtic Shamanic practices. I believe that we can benefit from connecting to the earth and tap into the source of all things. some use labels like God or Goddess or some use their own Higher Power. I work with people from all walks of life and respect their cultures, sexual orientations, and faith groups.
I am a registered social worker and have worked in mental health, domestic violence, and trauma and addictions.
