Meet Your Professional Counsellor at Time2Talk

Hi, I'm Mervyn, your dedicated counsellor and clinical supervisor at Time2Talk Counselling Services. With over two decades of therapeutic experience, I bring a unique blend of technical precision and compassionate care to my practice.

​

Professional Journey & Expertise

I have a background in computer engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance. I then trained in counselling through Ulster University and Queens University, Relate, FASA and Barnardos, helping me find and secure my place within the counselling profession.  

​

Time2Talk's Evolution

Since establishing Time2Talk in 2004, I've developed extensive experience across various therapeutic settings:

• School counselling services

• Clinical management of Lifeline (Northern Ireland's Suicide Prevention service)

• Addiction support services

• Family and child intervention programmes

• Trauma-focused therapy services

• ASD/Autism Support

• Couples/Relationship Counselling

• Personal Development & Wellbeing advocate

• Safeguarding champion

All of which have helped me gain a wide range of skills and experience over the years. 

In May 2024, I relaunched Time2Talk, taking it full-time, expanding the service to include Clinical Supervision, Child Therapy, Online Therapy, Trauma/EMDR, Couples/Relationship Counselling and Family Counselling/Systemic practice across a wider catchment area to help support people across the UK, Ireland, Europe and beyond. 

​

The service uses technology to give clients more choice and flexibility.  With the ever-increasing and high demand for online supervision and counselling, Time2Talk is well-positioned to offer a convenient and professional service.
