My approach

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. Integrative therapy is a combined approach that blends elements of different therapies. Tailoring my approach to you, there are many ways in which we can explore your individual experience together. No one theory provides all the answers.

 

In-person and remote options

My office is conveniently located in Lisburn near the city centre.

Can’t make it to me? No worries – we can start your therapy in whatever way you feel comfortable. Whether that’s on Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp… the choice is yours.

“Once I started talking to Iris I didn’t stop, every week I just couldn’t wait to talk to her. Iris helped me feel more confident, and see that life is worth living.”
