Local therapist's research to be published

​The outcome of  Frank  Kennedy’s Master’s research in psychotherapy will be published in The Journal of Humanistic Counselling this July.  This is an American peer-reviewed publication which validates Frank’s research as a worthwhile contribution to the field of psychotherapy.  His research studied the personal and professional significance for the trainee therapist of learning emotion-focused therapy. His study found that this particular method of training increased the trainee therapist’s emotional awareness of their own early life experiences, leading to greater emotional assurance in both their lives and work, and a greater authenticity in working with clients. This is a particular area of interest in Frank’s therapy practice. During the pandemic Frank is meeting clients in his consultation room in Church Hill through a perspex screen. He can also meet by Zoom or phone if clients prefer.
