Mr. Shane Sheehy, MSc, hDip Clinical Psy, BA, Dip, Pln, Dip, Env Mgt. I have trained extensively in the fields of Psychotherapy, Meditation and Spirtuality. I draw on a wide range of theory and practice, from Rogerian, Existential, Gestalt Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Bodywork, Mindfulness, Shamanism and Psychosynthesis; allowing me to work deeply in ways that meet the needs of each individual client. The Code of Ethics and best practice as set down by both the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP) are adhered to in all aspects of my work. I work with a wide range of issues and concerns including abuse, anxiety, bereavement, depression, trauma, sexuality, suicide, self harm, relationship issues amongst others. I offer a free initial consultation by telephone.  The aim of talking to a counsellor or psychotherapist is to help you make sense of what is going in your life, as well as reflecting on past experiences and how they impact on the present, the person you are today. Counselling or psychotherapy allows you to achieve greater self-understanding, heightened self-acceptance, improved relationships with others and greater control over your life. It helps you to clarify what you want from life, addressing your own needs, improving relationships with others, taking responsibility and regaining control: learning to live, risk, love, hope and engage more fully
