Welcome, I’m Keith and this is Slánú Nua Psychotherapy.

I am a pre-accredited psychotherapist with the Association of Professional Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBR11808)

Let me go through with you a bit about me, where I studied and who I worked with.

Meet Keith

My path into psychotherapy wasn’t a straight line. After the Leaving Certificate, I explored different areas of study before discovering a strong interest in Psychology—an experience that shaped the direction of my career.

I went on to complete a BSc in Applied Psychology at IADT Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology, followed by an MSc in Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University. During this time, I developed a deep interest in psychotherapy, which led me to train as a therapist and complete an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Integrative) at Irish College of Humanities and Applied Sciences.

Since then, I’ve supported clients across a range of settings, working with anxiety, low mood, stress, and life challenges, while maintaining a strong focus on safe, ethical, and compassionate care.

Qualifications & Training:

  • MA Counselling & Psychotherapy (Integrative) – ICHAS

My studies have brought me to work and volunteer at a variety of places.

I have volunteered with Jigsaw Dublin City on their Youth Advisory Panel where we all advocated for youth mental health.

I volunteered with the National Youth Council of Ireland, on their Young Voices, delegating common concerns and issues important to the young people of Ireland in Ireland and abroad.

I worked extensively in retail for years, eventually working as an assistant psychologist and LGBTQ+ inclusion worker at Spirasi - National Centre for Survivors of Torture.

I then completed my student psychotherapy placement at SOSAD in Drogheda, providing therapy to a variety of clients.

The skills and knowledge I’ve gained in both my studies and work, I hope to be able to use and provide a collaborative atmosphere for people who want to explore therapy.
