Amanda Fennelly Counselling and Psychotherapy

I am a professionally qualified counsellor psychotherapist holding a BSc (Hons.) in Counselling and Psychotherapy.  Having a commitment to continued professional development, I have a Certificate in Gestalt Therapy and am currently undertaking training in issues of sexual violence with the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre. I am a fully accredited member of IACP and adhere to their professional standards and code of ethics in my practice.

My training is humanistic and integrative incorporating person centred, psychodynamic, CBT and Gestalt therapies. I adapt my approach to that which is most appropriate and beneficial for the client. Central to my way of working is to create a safe, confidential and compassionate space where clients can begin a process of exploring aspects of their lives which are of concern to them.

I have many years experience working with people in the area of mental health and wellbeing, including over four years working as a counsellor psychotherapist in Pieta House supporting people struggling with suicidal thoughts and engaging in deliberate self-harm. I am experienced in working with clients presenting with issues such as Depression, Stress and Anxiety, Loss and Grief, Relationship Issues, Low Self Esteem, Spirituality, Suicide and Deliberate Self Harm. I work empathically and collaboratively with adult individuals on a one to one basis.
