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 am an accredited psychotherapist with more than twenty years of experience supporting adults experiencing childhood trauma, anxiety, attachment difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and difficult life experiences.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in social and economic policy and later volunteered with both the Dublin Samaritans and Pieta House. These experiences deepened my understanding of emotional suffering, resilience, and the importance of compassionate support.

I completed my professional psychotherapy training with Turning Point in conjunction with Dublin City University and later undertook further training in mindfulness-based approaches including MBCT and MBSR. Over the next two decades I dedicated myself to understanding my clients at ever deeper levels by examining the roots of their suffereing and emotional distress.

Over time, I became increasingly interested in how trauma and attachment experiences affect the nervous system and emotional wellbeing. This led me to specialise in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a neuroscience-based trauma therapy designed to work with shock, attachment wounds, and unresolved trauma responses. This is one of the primary approaches I use with my clients today to great effect.
