Frank Kennedy

Experienced Psychotherapist in East Galway/Roscommon – Frank Kennedy (M.A., M.Sc., M.I.A.C.P., M.I.A.H.I.P.)

Welcome. I’m Frank Kennedy, a qualified and accredited psychotherapist based in Ballinasloe. I have been practising since 2017 after completing a four-year training program at Dublin City University (DCU). I am a full member of both the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP).

If you’re dealing with emotional difficulties or considering whether counselling or psychotherapy might help, this website explains the therapy process and what you can expect when working with me.

I believe that speaking openly in a safe and confidential space can bring relief, clarity, and healing, whether you are dealing with present-day stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or unresolved issues from the past.

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. I offer an initial meeting to answer any questions you may have and to help you decide if psychotherapy is the right path for you.

“A person is a flowing river of change…not a fixed quantity of traits.” – Carl Rogers
