Dear Amy,

Many thanks for your email, sorry for the delay in coming back to you. I’ve been trying to find out some information for you.

I have this email address for people looking for support in Northern Ireland [e-mail] - you may have this already?

I only have a couple of contacts in Northern Ireland of consultants, but they are for under 18’s.

If you are looking for support in terms of behavioural therapies then I can send you the details of people offering help with tics using behavioural therapies online so distance wouldn’t be a problem – one such person is Liz Murray [e-mail].

If you would like more information on the therapies then please email me and I can email them to you [e-mail]

I hope this is helpful

Very best wishes

Seonaid
