Approach and services
Mr. Kelly offers counselling and psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, couples and families, online or in person in Co. Longford.
For anxiety, stress, low mood and depression, he can offer structured cognitive behavioural work, helping clients notice patterns of thinking and behaviour and try alternative strategies, alongside a person-centred space to explore the wider context of their lives. Mindfulness-based practices may be included where a client finds them helpful.
His training in addiction studies allows him to work with alcohol, drug and behavioural dependencies, including motivation, relapse awareness, the effect of addiction on families, and building a recovery plan.
Specialist diplomas in traumatology and PTSD and in domestic violence and sexual abuse inform his work with people affected by trauma, abuse or coercive control. This work prioritises safety, pacing and stabilisation, and is carried out with an awareness of risk and of relevant support services.
For couples and families, he draws on family systems and attachment-informed perspectives to help people understand recurring conflicts, improve communication and consider what each person needs from the relationship.
Mr. Kelly has completed ASSIST suicide intervention training. Counselling is not an emergency service; anyone in crisis should contact 112 or 999, Samaritans on 116 123, or attend their nearest emergency department.
A first appointment is usually used to discuss what has prompted the person to seek support, to agree goals, and to explain practical arrangements such as session length, frequency, fees, cancellation and the limits of confidentiality. Confidentiality is maintained except where there is a serious risk of harm to the client or others, or where disclosure is required by law, and these limits are explained at the outset.
The number of sessions varies from person to person and is reviewed together over time. People are free to ask questions about the approach being used, to raise any concerns about how the work is going, and to end the work at any point. Choosing a practitioner is a personal decision, and it is reasonable to make initial contact with more than one practitioner before deciding.
Practitioners listed in the ICPHAA directory work within the scope of their category of membership and refer on where a client's needs are better met by another service, such as a general practitioner, community mental health team or specialist agency.
Appointments with Mr. Kelly can be arranged through telephone, email or the website linked from this profile. This profile lists an individual session fee of โฌ60 and a couples session fee of โฌ70; fees, cancellation terms and availability should be confirmed directly with the practitioner before the first session. Information shared when making an enquiry is handled confidentially by the practitioner.
