Mrs Majella Kennedy

Counselor

“I am a skilled Counselor, and I work to the highest professional and ethical standards with clients.”

About Me

I offer a confidential and supportive space where you can explore life's challenges at your own pace. Many find it helpful to gain clarity and understanding when facing difficult emotions or transitions. Together, we can explore your experiences to find a way forward that feels right. My approach is always respectful and grounded in ethical practice, aiming to build a trusting relationship.

Approach

You'll find I set a structured, respectful pace that honours safety and consent while we explore what matters most to you. Sessions take place in Roscrea and online in English, with flexible timing to fit family, school or work life. We clarify priorities, use gentle assessment when useful, blend reflective conversation with practical steps between meetings, and adapt pace for adolescents, couples or whole communities. Those facing transitions, anxiety, grief or burnout often find this steady, ethically grounded way helpful.
