Meet Noel McKee…

Noel McKee was a firefighter in North Belfast for 32 years before training as a counsellor and launching his own practice in 2004.

Since then he has logged over 6,500 supervised counselling hours of one-to-one therapy and has become a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

  • How we can take care of our own mental health
