Stephen Vaughan

Stephen is an accredited counsellor, psychotherapist (MIACP) and supervisor (IACP and IAHIP) and  has worked in private practice since 2001. He trained in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Tivoli Institute and at Trinity College Dublin. He then completed 2 further years of post-graduate training with the Dublin Gestalt Centre and has a Diploma in Gestalt Therapy.

Stephen has also done extensive further training in many areas including Group Facilitation, couple counselling, sex and sexuality, and working with gay and lesbian clients.

He works with a wide range of issues that can arise for individuals both within the workplace and in personal life. Many of these issues can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, panic, low self-esteem, confusion, relationship difficulties, or negative behavioural and thought patterns. Stephen works closely with individuals at a deep level to help explore and understand the issues underlying these feelings. He is particularly interested in working on issues around relationships, self-esteem, sexuality, and in existential issues such as living a more meaningful life, having more meaningful relationships with others, and engaging with existential issues such as loneliness, anxiety, and meaning and purpose of life. He also works with couples and with therapy groups.

Stephen is originally a Business Studies and Human Resources graduate and has a background of over 12 years experience in personnel management. In addition to his work as a therapist in private practice, Stephen also works as a course tutor with the National University of Ireland at Maynooth and as group therapist and group supervisor at Tivoli Institute and as group therapist on the PhD in Counselling Psychology at Trinity College Dublin. He runs a number of workshops regularly for therapists and related professions around Sex and Sexuality, and Understanding Gay and Lesbian Sexuality.
