Raymond - A collage representing nature, connection, and therapeutic support
The counselling room — a comfortable, confidential space for therapy

As an integrative counsellor, I offer a supportive space to explore, untangle and be curious about what challenges you may be facing. With over six years of experience working with individuals and couples, I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every therapeutic relationship.

I hold a Foundation Degree in Counselling from Belfast Metropolitan College, a Postgraduate Diploma from the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology, and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision. I am a Professional Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a registered member of the College of Sex and Relationship Therapists (COSRT), holding registration as both a Psychosexual Therapist and a Relationship Therapist.

My specialist training includes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) for processing trauma, and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for working with attachment and relationship patterns. I have also undertaken specialist training in psychosexual therapy, allowing me to work sensitively with a wide range of sexual health and relationship concerns.

I work in an adult-to-adult collaborative manner. Person-centred practice is core to my work, and I offer integrative pluralistic counselling — meaning no single approach or theory will fit every client, so my work is guided by your unique needs and circumstances.

As required by NCPS ethical standards, I maintain regular clinical supervision with a qualified supervisor. This ensures my practice remains reflective, ethical, and informed by current therapeutic thinking. I am committed to ongoing professional development and hold professional indemnity insurance.

Based on the Lisburn Road in Belfast, I am also available for phone and video sessions and work with clients internationally.

Our Approach

Therapeutic Approach

A personalized, integrative approach to support your journey

Raymond's therapeutic approach is rooted in person-centred counselling, which means you are at the heart of every session. Your experiences, goals, and pace guide the work we do together.

Drawing from integrative methods, Raymond combines evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs. This includes trauma-informed care, relational therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches when appropriate.

The therapeutic relationship is collaborative. You won't be told what to do or how to feel. Instead, Raymond creates a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly, developing your own insights and solutions.
