Trauma Therapy Dublin

Support for trauma, PTSD, emotional overwhelm, and the lasting imprint of experience

Let’s talk about it.

many shapes and forms

Trauma can take many forms

Trauma is not always what others see. It can be loud — shaped by violence, shock, or loss — or quiet, formed in the subtle breakdown of trust, care, or safety over time. You may experience flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, or a chronic sense of alertness. For some, trauma lives in the body. For others, it appears as silence, disconnection, or a persistent feeling of being “off.”

Perhaps the trauma is recent. Perhaps it occurred long ago but remains strangely present — in your relationships, your sleep, your sense of self. You may struggle to name what happened, or wonder if it “counts” at all.

What’s it all about?

Trauma disrupts meaning. It interrupts time. It may split you from your memories, your body, or your capacity to trust. But symptoms do not appear without reason. They carry the trace of something too much, or too confusing to make sense of — at least at the time.

Psychotherapy works to slowly, following your own rhythm, dismantle the affects of trauma. The goal is not to just to “move on,” but to create a space in which the traumatic imprint can be worked through and eventually transformed.

The past may not be undone. But its grip on the present can be loosened.

Speak to a Therapist

Is therapy for trauma right for me?

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to begin working with a psychotherapist. 

You may be living with the aftermath of abuse, grief, medical trauma, or emotional neglect. You may not describe your experience as “trauma,” but still feel haunted, stuck, or overwhelmed.

Whether the trauma is named or not, the work begins with speaking. Carefully. In your own time. Therapy offers a space where what was once unspeakable might finally find form — not to erase the past, but to shift its hold on your life.

I had the privilege of working with Ashling Whelan, MIACP, as my therapist at The Other Clinic. I can’t emphasize enough how her compassion, expertise and professionalism have positively transformed my relationship with my partner. Her guidance and insights have been instrumental in helping me navigate and improve my communication and overall connection. I highly recommend Ashling to anyone seeking skilled and compassionate therapy.

“I was recommended this clinic and was sceptical at first, much like about putting a review online, but after the level of care I received I wanted to share. I had a lot of questions like was it for me, would I be able, could I afford it etc. but after contacting them many of these were answered and I felt more at ease. I had been struggling with things for a while and when I started I didn’t quite understand the connection between what the psychotherapist said and what I was saying but it really taught me to think twice about things and why I might feel a certain way, it’s really opened my eyes. Coming to counselling and more importantly sticking it out is one of the best decisions I’ve made and I’m sincerely thankful for all their help. Thanks again!!”

I can’t sufficiently express how grateful and appreciative I am, without writing thousands upon thousands of words, for the help and support my therapist here gives me in doing the hard, frightening and sad work that needs doing in order for therapy to be truly beneficial. Almost 18 months of weekly appointments and I can peacefully say that I’ll keep going for as long as I can. Thank you so much for providing a space and the support I need to consistently learn, grow and love myself.
