Linda Linnane

I have a BA (Hons) degree in Psychology and Sociology, and a MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I firmly believe in life-long learning and work constantly to keep up to date with current research and findings in the world of psychotherapy. I have also recently completed a professional certificate in Adolescent Development. I have full accreditation membership with the Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors in Ireland (APCP). I am also a graduate member of the Psychological Society of Ireland.

I am trauma informed in my work with clients and find this approach to be very successful in helping to resolve deep rooted issues. I am trained as an integrative psychotherapist, and am person centred in my approach, which means I put the needs of the client at the centre of the treatment plan. I will always discuss what the client hopes to achieve because I believe that if a client is committed and open to the process of psychotherapy then it will be successful for them.

I work with a wide variety of clients. I offer services to those over the age of 13 in relation to stress and anxiety, family issues, bereavement, sexual identity and relationship issues as well as self-harm and suicidal ideation. I work with individuals, both adolescent and adults.

I offer therapy in an open and always non-judgmental manner. I am empathetic to the needs of my clients and am always ready to provide support on their personal journey. I am always honest and will discuss difficulties and challenges always striving to help my clients to find solutions to their presenting issues.
