Clinical Psychology

As a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with the Psychological Society of Ireland Kear is committed to adhere to the PSI’s Code of Ethics, and to ongoing engagement in continuing professional development every year. Kear is trained to work utilising a range of therapeutic approaches, including humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behaviour therapy. These tools are typically used by psychologists to make in-depth psychological assessments and provide evidence-based interventions to alleviate emotional and psychological distress (e.g. depression, anxiety, chronic stress) as well as to enhance and promote psychological well-being. This is achieved through an interactive therapeutic process between the psychologist and client, which seeks to enable each individual to reach a clearer understanding their own difficulties and increase their ways of coping to feel better about themselves and others.
