Vanessa Macey

Counsellor & Psychotherapist Adults

Vanessa is a fully accredited and qualified Humanistic Psychotherapist, she graduated from Dublin Counselling and Therapy Centre where she was awarded a distinction upon completion of her Masters. Her style draws on various modalities depending on the client and their presentations, she draws on psychodynamic approaches when working with clients with a history of childhood neglect or trauma, and also uses short term approaches such as CBT and mindfulness when working with clients on a short to mid-term basis. She is trauma informed and is aware of the IFS language which she finds particularly useful when working with clients who find themselves triggered in the present by an issue that has underlying roots that go back into the past.

She has experience working with a diverse range of clients from varying backgrounds, cultures, identities and sexual associations. Her aim is to hold an open, compassionate and non- judgemental space for her clients, regardless of their presentations or their previous experiences and life decisions. She believes that each individual seeking therapy holds the power to find the solutions to their own dilemmas and she endeavours to accompany them on an exploratory journey to uncover these answers together.

Vanessa has spent long periods in silent vipassana meditation, practicing the art of mindfulness, acknowledging and trusting whatever is ready to surface from the consciousness. She works with a range of issues including trauma, life change, depression, anxiety, sexual issues, relational difficulties, bereavement and loss.
