Kamila Jelinkova, M.Ps.S.I., MA, BA, APPI, ICP, PSI, BPS (RQTU)

Kamila Jelinkova is a fully accredited member of the Association for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in Ireland (APPI), the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP), and the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI). She holds a PSI-recognised BA (Hons) in Psychology (QQI Level 8) and a MA in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (QQI Level 9). In addition, Kamila has completed a Specific Modality Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, a specialised post-master’s programme delivered by University College Dublin (UCD) in collaboration with St. Vincent’s University Hospital.

Kamila has also undertaken training in Solution-Focused Therapy, Couples Counselling, and Educational Psychometric Testing, which led to her registration with the British Psychological Society’s (BPS) Register of Qualifications in Test Use (RQTU).

Her clinical experience spans a wide range of areas, including perinatal mental health, chronic illness, interpersonal and relational difficulties, suicidality, bereavement, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and intercultural issues. She has also worked with clients diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Autism Spectrum Conditions (including Asperger’s Syndrome), ADHD, and other complex mental health conditions. Kamila has published academic work relating to some of these areas.

She has a particular interest in female-specific issues, such as the psychological challenges of motherhood, the pre- and postnatal period, birth trauma, sexual identity, female health, and domestic violence. Her commitment to these areas is reflected in her volunteer work with organisations including the SAOL Project.

To support her ongoing professional development, Kamila regularly attends clinical workshops, seminars, and supervision with a senior psychoanalyst. She offers both short- and long-term psychotherapy in English and Czech.

Kamila’s practice is grounded in psychoanalytic theory, which emphasises the significance of unconscious processes and the transformative power of language. She views the human subject as fundamentally a speaking being, with speech lying at the core of personal identity. Through attentive listening and thoughtful interpretation, Kamila believes that therapy can facilitate meaningful and lasting change.

Understanding that beginning therapy can feel daunting, Kamila aims to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and valued throughout their journey of self-exploration and transformation.
