Anna Venegas

Anna is a fully accredited member of the Association of Professional Counsellors and Psychotherapists in Ireland (APCP). She holds a B.A. in Counselling & Psychotherapy, a B.A. (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy with Youth Studies, and an M.A. in Counselling & Psychotherapy (Integrative Modalities). She also holds certificates in Suicide Intervention, Working with Trauma, CBT, and DBT, and a diploma in psychology.

To support her ongoing professional development, Anna regularly attends workshops, seminars, and clinical supervision. Her special interests include adolescent therapy (14 years upwards), anxiety, stress management, relationship problems, self-esteem, and motivation. She believes in the importance of staying curious and updated with the latest evidence-based practices, which informs her approach with clients of all ages.

Anna understands that life can be challenging and unpredictable. When facing difficulties or life stressors, it is natural for life to feel unravelling at times. It has been her passion to help others who have endured traumatic and stressful experiences, guiding them to find the strength to move forward. She emphasizes a collaborative, client-centred stance, actively involving individuals in their own healing journey and decision-making process. Anna believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach and has trained in various approaches to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each client. She is committed to creating a warm, non-judgemental environment where clients feel seen, heard, and respected.

Anna offers integrative psychotherapy—a comprehensive, holistic, personalised approach that blends techniques from multiple evidence-based modalities, including cognitive, behavioural, psychodynamic, humanistic, mindfulness-based, and somatic methods. This integrative framework enables her to tailor treatment plans that reflect the person’s goals, preferences, and life context, while also addressing underlying patterns and sustaining long-term growth. She places particular emphasis on developing practical strategies, fostering resilience, and enhancing emotional regulation to empower clients to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
