About me

Margaret is a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over 26 years experience in both Private Practice and as part of The Community Mental Health team at three major Northern Ireland hospitals- Ulster, Lagan Valley and Ards Hospitals..
She has a strong reputation for meeting and exceeding clients expectations and is known for delivering excellent quality therapy.

Margaret is a highly skilled Therapist, who understands client's needs, is persuasive and resourceful in understanding their story and delivers wise and inspirational support in an enthusiastic passionate manner.
Margaret offers support in a non-judgmental way helping clients to understand what causes their distress and helps them find different ways of dealing with it.

Margaret's Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Approach helps clients to understand how thoughts, feelings, what we do, and how our bodies feel, are all connected.

When we’re low or upset, we often fall into patterns of thinking and responding which can worsen how we feel. CBT works to help us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better.
