Online Therapy for Childhood Trauma, Anxiety & Relationship Difficulties

Welcome

Hello, my name is Eimear.

I’m an accredited psychotherapist with more than twenty years of experience supporting adults experiencing the lasting effects of childhood trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and difficult life experiences.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — such as overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional disconnection, harsh self-criticism, or difficulties in relationships.

Often, these patterns developed as ways of coping earlier in life.

Therapy can help you understand these patterns with greater compassion, process unresolved experiences, and develop a safer and more connected relationship with yourself.Beginning therapy can feel unfamiliar or emotionally exposing, particularly when seeking support for trauma or difficult early experiences.

What therapy with me is like?

Beginning therapy can feel unfamiliar or emotionally exposing, particularly when seeking support for trauma or difficult early experiences.

My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in creating emotional safety.

Therapy moves at a pace that feels manageable and supportive, allowing space to explore difficult experiences without becoming overwhelmed.

My goal is to help clients feel more emotionally connected, grounded, and less stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.

About Me

I trained as a psychotherapist with Turning Point in partnership with Dublin City University, and went on to complete further training in mindfulness-based approaches, including MBCT and MBSR. Over the past twenty years, I have been committed to developing a deeper understanding of my clients’ experiences within my clinical practice, working to uncover the underlying sources of emotional distress and suffering.

Before beginning my psychotherapy training, I worked in social and economic policy and later volunteered for several years with Dublin Samaritans and Pieta House. These roles gave me valuable insight into human resilience, emotional pain, and the profound impact of compassionate support.

In recent years, I have also cultivated a strong interest in Buddhist philosophy and meditation. My own practice has deepened my self-awareness and continues to inform my work, supporting me in being a grounded, attuned and compassionate therapist.

My ongoing curiosity about how trauma and early attachment experiences shape the brain, nervous system and our emotional responses led me to specialise in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR). This neuroscience-informed approach works with shock, attachment wounds, and unresolved trauma. Today, DBR forms a central part of my therapeutic work, helping clients process difficult experiences and move towards lasting change.
