Aveen Sharpe
Aveen holds a B.A. (Hons.) Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Institute of Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (IICP), Dublin. As an accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP), she is fully committed to her ongoing personal and professional development, regularly attending training workshops, seminars and supervision.
Aveen’s range of experience includes issues of stress and anxiety, life changes, bereavement and loss, carer burnout, childhood emotional neglect, depression, low self-esteem, panic attacks, abusive relationships, family dynamics, anger management, post-addiction rehabilitation, marital issues, sexual abuse, LGBT issues, lone parenting.
Aveen draws on various theoretical counselling models, primarily Humanistic, but also including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Her approach is Client-centred, recognising the Client as the expert of their own life and unique experience, and tailoring clinical interventions to the individual needs of the Client. She is dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgemental space for the Client to address any areas of concern, and she places the therapeutic relationship as central in the healing process.
Reflective listening is paramount in gaining insight into the Client’s unique world and presenting challenges. Gentle encouragement is offered to the Client to recognise, appreciate and tap into their inner strengths and resources, to explore fresh perspectives, to set goals and espouse optimism, to facilitate positive change and healing. Aveen works within a pluralistic framework, embracing diversity and inclusivity, working collaboratively with the Client to establish for them a heightened sense of engagement and self-empowerment within the therapeutic space.
