Hennessy Clinical Psychology – Recent Posts
Thank you for stopping on the Hennessy Clinical Psychology – Recent Posts page to read some of my posts. I have put a lot of time into posting information that I believe is helpful, meaningful, evidence-based, easy to read, and I try to provide professional support in a light and sometimes humorous way.
As a clinical psychologist, I’m deeply committed to sharing insights that make a difference—whether you’re a fellow mental health professional, a service provider, or someone simply curious about the human mind. My posts cover a range of topics including complex mental health presentations, therapeutic strategies, burnout prevention, and ways to balance the happy and the crappy.
I aim to bring you content that:
- Supports your clinical work or personal growth
- Breaks down big psychological ideas into real-life language
- Reflects the nuance and complexity of mental health
- Occasionally makes you smile, smirk, or nod in that “yep, I’ve been there” kind of way
Scroll through for bite-sized professional reflections, practical tools, and posts infused with both evidence and empathy. If you find something useful, feel free to connect, share, or start a conversation.
Let’s keep the work human, grounded, and just a little bit funny.
