As a psychologist with experience, I know how great the potential is in every person. We sometimes forget about our capabilities. For various reasons, life did not contribute to the disclosure of our inner potential and resources. But in fact, everything that people need to cope with in life exists inside them. I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instil self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. Making changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with sadness and fear can bring life-altering results. English and Russian clients. Instagram: kris kmt

I work with people of all ages, dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship and family issues and all the things that life may throw at us. I also highlight my work with adolescents from secondary school age upwards as I know it can be difficult to find someone to work with younger people. Whether teenager, adolescent or adult, the environment we live in can cause us worry, anxiety and stress. It can be difficult to be ourselves in what has become a complex and fast moving world. I provide a space where we can consider those external factors and work towards acceptance of our true selves.

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Galway, GY provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Galway build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
