My name is Cliodhna Davis and I am a BACP registered and trauma-informed integrative counsellor, somatic psychotherapist and Focusing trainer.

My work centres around resilience-building, emotional regulation, resourcing and post-traumatic growth with safety as the foundation.

I combine aspects of: art therapy, play therapy, inner critic / inner child work, children’s focusing, biospirituality, wholebody focusing and relational wholebody focusing, transactional analysis, attachment theory, existential therapy and systems therapy.

Focusing is foundational to my work, providing a gentle and resourcing space to breathe, to choose and to open to the body’s own healing wisdom.

I have experience working with a range of issues including:

• trauma

• domestic abuse

• spiritual abuse

• systemic oppression

• PTSD

• bullying

• inner child work

• shame

• grief

• chronic illness

• pain management

• cancer

• menopause

• spirituality

• parenting

I regularly offer Menopause courses aimed at empowering women to befriend their bodies and find the opportunities inherent in this stage of life. I am also beginning a series of embodiment workshops centred around the rhythm and wisdom of nature based on the Celtic calendar. 

I have a small private practice in Whitehead, on the North Coast of Ireland, and work face to face with children and face to face and online with adults.  

 I love what I do and the people I have the privilege to work with and strive to create a safe, supportive space where the client’s own felt experience and inner resources can be explored on their path to healing.
