ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Eibhlín, a psychotherapist who specialises in supporting women who experience anxiety. I know firsthand how all-consuming and isolating anxiety can be, and it is this personal journey to wellbeing which inspired me to train the field of counselling/psychotherapy. I now hold a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and am a pre-accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP).
I have a deep love and passion for learning, so alongside my practice in counselling/psychotherapy, I am also immersed in the world of yoga. Spending time on my yoga mat moving my body supports me in feeling nourished and grounded.
I also find joy and pleasure in nature. I love going for walks on the beach and taking dips in the sea. I can be found doing both all year round.
About Eibhlín O'Donnell Therapy
WELCOME
Welcome to Eibhlín O'Donnell Therapy
Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety? Are you struggling with overthinking, decision-making, self-doubt or just generally feeling stuck in your daily life? Are you fed up of people pleasing, self-sabotage and living from a place of low self-worth? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you’re in the right place. Since starting my journey as a therapist in 2018, I've dedicated myself to supporting women who experience anxiety to break unhelpful patterns of thinking, grow in confidence and enjoy a more fulfilling life.
My Approach
I am an integrative therapist which means that I am trained to integrate different types of therapy into my approach in a way that meets your specific needs and goals for therapy. My intention is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thought patterns, beliefs, behaviours and emotions freely. I aim to support you in developing your self-awarenss so that you have access to more choices when it comes to creating positive and lasting change.

SERVICES
Anxiety Therapist
I am a therapist who specialises in supporting women who experience anxiety. At the core of the work I do is our relationship, which is why building a foundation of safety and trust is our starting point. We explore what brings you to therapy now and get clear on your goals. I make a point of checking in with you regularly to ensure that we are making progress towards your goals, and adjust accordingly.
Individual Therapy
I offer individual therapy sessions that are designed to meet you where you are. I understand how distressing anxiety can be, so my aim is to honour your experience with the patience and compassion it deserves.
Flexible Therapy Options
I offer both face-to-face and online individual therapy sessions. This flexibility ensures that you can receive the support you need in a way that is desirable to you.
APPROACH
How I Work
As an integrative therapist, I am trained to integrate different types of therapy into my approach in a way that meets your specific needs and goals for therapy. The types of therapy I integrate may include Attachment theory (your attachment style in relationship), Mindfulness techniques (your capacity to be present), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) (your thought patterns and behaviours) and Psychodynamic therapy (your past experiences and how they shape you) for examples. This approach enables us to comprehensively explore and address both the symptoms and underlying causes of anxiety.
Mind-Body Connection
When there is agitation in the mind in the form of anxiety, there is often accompanying agitation in the body in the form of shallow breathing, elevated heart rate, sweating, upset tummy and tense muscles for examples. If you expand your capacity to be present with what is, without trying to change it, you can access a greater sense of peace and calm within yourself. It becomes less about getting rid of anxiety and more about observing its transience through body awareness. This can be a powerful tool in nervous system regulation and resilience building.
Collaboration
Therapy is a collaborative process between you and I, where we each take responsibility for showing up and working towards realising your goals. This often requires creating change that nudges you out of your comfort zone, a practice that can be challenging yet deeply rewarding.
