Counselling, Psychotherapy, CBT and Clinical Hypnotherapy are therapeutic tools to help us through our every day lives. In that time Ken has gathered skills in counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, psychoanalysis and clinical hypnotherapy, and combines them now to offer the most to his clients. Many therapists in the above disciplines can richly help a person in need, but as we are all individuals, the help needs to be unique also for the client. Being able to offer a wide range of therapies to a client allows our unique self to grow in a healthy and safe way. Background
Ken’s Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Psychoanalysis was obtained through DBS School of Arts, graduating in 2004. After returning from travelling, Ken worked in the ISPCC as a national supervisor with Childline. In Childline Ken trained volunteers in Dublin, Waterford and Galway in Active Listening skills, as well as Confidentiality, Children’s First and Child Protection. Ken then moved to Residential Care work, working more one to one with young people in crises situations. During his time in this area, he trained for his Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy with the Irish Hypnotherapist Association, and then the following year started his Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy with the IICP (Irish Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy) while working as a Social Care Leader. Ken now sees clients around the Wicklow and Dublin area while working part time as a therapist in Pieta House, a su***de and self-harm intervention centre, in Lucan, Co.
