My name is Stella Kuit and I am an accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
I work with adults, both in person and online, practising in accordance with the IACP professional code of ethics. I hold a BA Degree and Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Institute of Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (IICP). I also hold a H.Dip in Psychology from Trinity College Dublin, together with an MA in Reading in Practice (Bibliotherapy) and a BA in English Language and Literature from The University of Liverpool. I hold a PG.Dip in Law and PG.Dip in Legal Practice from the University of Central Lancashire.
I have training in applied suicide intervention skills (ASIST) and transgender awareness (TENI/HSE), as well as holding a practitioner certificate in working with autistic adults (AUsome training) and professional certificates in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy skills (PCI College) and The Therapeutic Use of Mindfulness (IICP). I am currently completing an MSc in Psychology and Wellbeing with Dublin City University.
I approach my work from a collaborative person-centred stance, providing a non-judgemental space within which to explore and reflect on life experiences, goals and challenges. With a belief that every individual has the capacity to change and to live an authentic version of themselves, I apply an integrative approach which combines Humanistic, Existential and CBT perspectives.
We don’t get to choose what happens to us, but we do get to choose how we respond to our experience.” Edith Eger
Originally from the UK, I initially trained and qualified as a solicitor. I practised immigration, asylum, nationality and human rights law. This work involved advising and representing clients from a diverse range of backgrounds and countries, all of whom found themselves in exceptionally challenging circumstances yet with one common goal: to maintain a sense of stability and hope for themselves and their families. It was this experience, together with a life long interest in the human condition, that led me to retrain within the fields of psychology and psychotherapy.
I have experience of working with the following presenting issues:
I have a particular interest in neurodiversity and working with late diagnosed/late discovery Autistic and ADHD adults. I am a strong advocate for positive psychology and the importance of having a well-lived, meaningful and fulfilling life. I also consider there to be great value in the role of literature in learning to better understand our life experiences and relationships.
