Brenda Kelleher, Psychologist in the Marina Alta, face to face and online. Gestalt Psychotherapist.
Hello, I'm Brenda Kelleher, your English and Spanish speaking psychologist in the Marina Alta and here I would like you to get to know me better. I am Irish, although I actually live in a small village in northern Alicante where I have a face to face practice in the Marina Alta and an online practice.
I am a Registered Psychologist (CV 18968) and I have have more than 25 years of experience which I have studied psychology and also Gestalt Psychotherapy, Family Constellations, Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy as well as Transpersonal Couple Psychotherapy; I worked for 10 years in Ireland for the HSE (Health Service Executive, now Tusla) as a youth and family support worker and I maintain active collaborations with Lady Elizabeth School, Guardian Angels, The Garden Retreat Pego.
Feeling different has been my compass
I discovered psychotherapy when I was 20 years old and I had a great need to understand myself better, I felt different, and it wasnt enough just to fit in with the rest. Step by step, I began to understand myself better, to be more coherent and I became my own greatest ally, I gained self compassion. no me valía simplemente encajar como las demás. Paso a paso empecé a entenderme mejor, a ser más coherente y me convertí en una aliada de mí misma, logré ser autocompasiva.
I have been a client of psychotherapists more than once throughout my life, and I believe that psychology and psychotherapy are vital resources to gain better self understanding, and self compassion, identify and legitimise ones needs and navigate lifes inevitable crises. We dont always gets those skills as children, however it is never too late to grow and develop and build a better relationship with oneself and others.
Each persons inner world teaches us something new and unique
In 2019, after a long process of change, I decided that it was time to put into professional practice all that I had learned in my years studying, my own personal experience, but above all what I had learned from each of the people who I had accompanied in therapy, so I opened a face-to-face practice in Alicante,Spain with an online modality for people who are not in Alicante, but want to begin a process of change.
These sessions, can be in English or in Spanish,sessions are completely adapted to your needs and situation, which is unique to you, in which we will work on developing skills which will allow you to consider different points of view about past and present situations.
The goal is that you learn to find solutions for your challenges and you begin to live in a reality where you can be your authentic self, accepting what you cannot change or control and building networks and connections with people who really value you.
