Patricia Nelis Kenny

I am a Psychosynthesis Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience working in the counselling and caring professions.

The context of my work, Psychosynthesis, offers an approach to counselling which holds that every person's life has meaning and purpose, which can guide us towards a flourishing of who we truly are.

I offer a calm, supportive space in which to explore the challenges and difficulties you may be experiencing.

My practice weaves the insights of psychotherapy with an attentive regard for the deeper dimensions of life – emotional, psychological, and spiritual – guiding us towards the threshold of becoming – the wellspring of the heart’s wisdom.

When our ability to thrive is blunted by life’s difficulties, the ground beneath us can feel shaky, thinned by loss, grief or confusion. In therapy we take time to make sense of what is happening, building steadiness while also listening for what is emerging.

I offer space to bring both what hurts and what calls; together, we invite them to unfold with safety, openness and tender compassion. This compassion itself becomes part of the healing: a way of moving from self-judgement towards deeper understanding, clarity, and more authentic choice.

 Testimonials:

Helen:      "After 15 years of building reinforced walls around my emotional pain no therapist could break through until I met Trish.  From day one, I felt a genuine kindred spirit, genuine care and empathy, and someone who would not give up on me.  With her help I have found myself, I have found a sense of joy, but most importantly I have found inner peace." 

Mary:     "My self awareness has changed - how I am in the world, how I see the world, how I make choices.  I'm more aware of my triggers and my positive attributes.  I've more responsibility - you can't unknow what you know, when you're aware.  Trish is very good at getting to people's potential that they're not even aware of."

I offer an initial Zoom meeting (at no charge), a time to meet and begin to feel at ease with each other. Together we take time to build a gentle foundation for our work. By exploring something of your life experience and what has shaped you, we begin to create a context for therapy. We can also start to touch on the concerns or longings that bring you here, allowing the process to unfold at a pace that feels safe and respectful.
