I typically support individuals with issues like complex trauma, social anxiety, life transitions and existential concerns, depression, and relationship issues. ​​
​
Over 10 years of experience building relationships and working with a diverse range of youth and adults.
​
While my approach is conversational and client led, I also offer a more structured and practical therapy.
I bring curiosity and personal experience into every relationship, and hope to support you as a trustworthy, genuine, and professional resource. ​​​​
Nick Kenny, BA, MA
Registered Psychotherapist
My approach can be referred to as "bio-psycho-social" as I integrate theory and knowledge from biology, psychology and sociology. I strive to create a supportive environment where you can freely explore experiences and track any influences on your behaviour that come up. If you are interested in a particular change, we can collaboratively evaluate specific patterns and issues and relevant evidence-based strategies and skills to help you create the change you desire. I aim to tailor therapy to your temperament, preferences, and views of the world.
A common first step is to simply acknowledge and understand the origins of who you are now, like the variables and contexts relating to both nature and nurture. You may be surprised how developmental doing so alongside a supportive fellow human can be. Hopefully, we can eventually open new doors sealed by shame or for some protective purpose, and find a pathway of self-acceptance that can give you a new past, thus dissolving the old and ultimately problematic ways of survival.
​
I use techniques which examine thoughts, behaviours, physical sensations and relationships to gain evidence and explanation for who you are. We may explore your meaningful connections, desires, and passions to find direction and to begin the journey of developing a more resilient, capable, and fulfilling lifestyle.

COUPLES therapy
With couples, I often look to untangle the emotions that are fuelling any fires and help get to the underlying needs of each person. From here, we look at how needs can be met and what may help create a resilient relationship.
