Sexual Abuse Therapists in Dublin, Ireland

I have experience with this issue and together we'll create a safe and gentle environment, where you can process the impact of sexual abuse with sensitivity and care. My approach combines clinical expertise with trauma healing techniques and mindfulness to help you reclaim your sense of safety and autonomy. We'll work on developing resilience and healing. My goal is to empower you to move forward, shedding shame while cultivating strength and self-worth.

I have worked extensively in this area and appreciate the courage and struggles involved in therapy for sexual abuse. I aim to work sensitively with you to deshame, process and empower.

I work with clients who have experienced the trauma of sexual abuse, either as children or in adulthood in a compassionate and relational way. I practise EMDR therapy, mindfulness based psychotherapy and parts work. EMDR along with mindfulness based therapy and parts work supports clients, in recovering from trauma.

I work with adults who have experienced sexual abuse and its ongoing psychological impact. Sexual abuse can affect how people relate to their bodies, emotions, relationships, and sense of agency, often in ways that are complex and difficult to articulate. My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore these experiences without imposing pace or expectation. Sessions focus on understanding how the effects of abuse are held internally, including protective responses that may have developed over time. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most manageable and useful.

An integrative and trauma-informed approach is one of the most effective ways to support survivors with your healing process. This approach combines the empathic and person-centred principles of humanistic therapy with the sensitivity to trauma's impact on a survivor's mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Counselling survivors of sexual abuse requires a compassionate, empathic and trauma-informed approach that prioritises your safety, autonomy and empowerment. By integrating humanistic principles with trauma-informed care, I provide a holistic and supportive environment that fosters healing and resilience. This approach not only addresses the immediate impact of sexual trauma but also empowers survivors to reclaim your sense of self and move forward with strength and hope.

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.
