Emotional Abuse Therapists in Dublin, Ireland

With extensive experience working with both survivors and perpetrators of emotional abuse, I provide a safe environment to explore its impact without shame. I offer practical methods and trauma-healing techniques that avoid delving deeply into painful memories, supporting your journey toward empowerment and self-discovery.

If you have experienced emotional abuse as a child or an adult you might struggle with trusting yourself, have negative beleifs relating to yourself and in relationships.You may have patterns of relating which do not serve you.In therapy we would be working to identify how you came to be this way, to assemble the puzzle pieces and make sense of them, to create new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Many people undergo emotional abuse by people they trust and love. Together, we are finding the strength to set boundaries and stop it once and for all!

I work with emotional abuse in a similar way to other types of abuse, working towards building self esteem and identifying and managing any triggers. Encouraging healthy boundaries, self care and building a safe support network. If this is narcissistic abuse I may provide further psycho education around this as well as directing the client to online resources and supportive, empowering literature. We may use parts work to work with healing any inner conflicts or harmful beliefs about self that have developed as a result of being emotionally abused.

Emotional abuse is common and often not named as such. If you are experiencing cruel behavior and verbal or even physical abuse do not hesitate to get help. You may think that you have to take it because you are in love and find many reasons why the other person is not as bad as they act or you may feel you don’t deserve better. You may even think that there is no way out. Please stop, rethink and let’s talk. If you are abusing another person and repeatedly inflict pain , there may be part of you knowing that this is not smart to continue on like this for yourself and everybody involved. You can make a difference and achieve a different life. Let’s talk and face up to it.

Dublin has transformed rapidly from a relatively insular city into a major European technology hub — home to the European headquarters of Google, Meta, and many other multinationals — generating significant demand for therapists experienced with burnout, imposter syndrome, and the psychological cost of high-performance corporate environments. The city's severe housing crisis is a defining source of anxiety for many residents, particularly younger people who grew up in Dublin but struggle to remain there affordably. Ireland's historically complex relationship with institutional religion means many clients seek therapists who can hold nuanced conversations about religious trauma, inherited values, and personal identity. The national public health service (HSE) provides limited psychotherapy access, and most Dublin therapy takes place through private practice or employer assistance programmes.
