Having worked as a mental health nurse for many years, I've had the privilege, and the weight, of walking alongside people at some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Adults trapped in cycles of anxiety, depression and trauma they couldn't find their way out of. Older people revisiting pain they'd spent decades trying to bury.

I've seen the full spectrum of human suffering. But I've also seen something else. I've seen people get better.

I've witnessed first-hand the profound, life-changing impact that the right psychiatric treatment can have. Time and again, I watched people arrive broken and leave with something they'd almost given up on:

Hope.

Seeing the impact of treatment on my patients has encouraged me to step outside of my role as a senior psychiatric nurse in a hospital setting, and bring EMDR therapy to people across Northern Ireland who are suffering in silence, every day.

I know how to help people live with flashbacks.

I understand the way a single moment can quietly take over your whole life.

I know that EMDR works. Not overnight. But it works.

I don’t want your past experiences to own you. Life’s just too short.

I’m on a mission to bring EMDR therapy to the people of Newcastle, Castlewellan, Dundrum, Downpatrick, Newry, Belfast, and beyond!

You deserve to feel better. You deserve to heal. And I'm here to help make that happen.
