Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy in Oughterard & Galway City
I'm Nathy O'Connell, a trauma-informed psychotherapist with a private practice in Oughterard and Galway City. I offer a compassionate, expert-led space to work through life's challenges whether that's anxiety, trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed. Sessions are available in-person at either location, or online for clients anywhere in Ireland.Together, we'll find a way forward that works for you.
A Trauma-Informed Tailored Approach
My practice is grounded in a trauma-informed approach - one that recognises how past experiences shape present struggles, and prioritises safety, trust, and pace above all else. I blend this with evidence-based tools like CBT and person-centred therapy, so our work fits your unique needs, never rushing you further than you're ready to go.
Warmth Meets Expertise
You'll find a welcoming, non-judgmental space in Oughterard or Galway City, backed by over a decade of psychological insight, behavioural coaching experience, and hands-on support helping people through real change.
How Therapy Can Help
From calming chaotic thoughts to rebuilding safely after trauma, I'm here to help you take control and thrive.
About Me:
For the past decade I've studied psychology while working as a professional coach and behavioural coach, supporting people from all walks of life - from athletes striving to perform at the highest level to individuals facing personal struggles. I've learned what truly drives change: understanding your needs and crafting a plan that works.
Life throws curve balls. Sometimes it's anxiety that won't let go, a past trauma casting a shadow, or a relationship that's hit rough waters. My integrative therapy is designed to meet you where you are, offering:
- Individual Therapy: Untangle disorganised thoughts, ease anxiety, or lift the weight of depression.
- Couples Counseling: Rebuild trust, improve communication, and find harmony together.
- Trauma Work: Heal from abuse, anger, or painful memories with a steady, supportive guide.
With a background in psychology and performance coaching, I bring a practical, goal-focused mindset to every session helping you not just cope but grow stronger.
