Hello, I'm Brenda Kelleher, and I'd like you to get to know me better here.

Feeling different has been my compass
Descubrí la psicoterapia cuando tenía 20 años porque tenía una necesidad muy grande de entenderme, me sentía diferente y 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, hoever 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 ytou to consider different points of view about past and present situations.
The goal is that you can close or resolve and begin to live in the world so that you can be your authentic self, accepting what you cannot change or control and building networks and connections with people who really value you.
