Including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy.
I am genuine, direct, open and also have a sense of humour (though it is twisted/cynical/dark). I work best when you feel comfortable, if that means we swear a lot in session - I am happy to make that sacrifice! I work clients across many areas from complex trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and workplace issues.
I believe it is important to work with clients - not dictate to them. My preferred treatment method is to focus on the areas that you want to work on. I believe a partnership not a prescription is important. Sticking to values means more than putting them on a website - it means actually living them.

Hi, I'm Donna. I am originally from Ireland and have worked in in mental health services since 2009. I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in Liverpool in 2017 and now work in private practice in Perth, Australia. I have a particular interest in trauma and PTSD, and supporting adults with anxiety and depression. I know it can feel daunting to take the first step to reach out for support, so I aim to offer a calm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, make sense of what you’ve been through, and gently build the skills and understanding needed for meaningful healing.

As a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, I specialise in depth therapy, helping people understand not only their symptoms but also the unconscious patterns that shape their emotions, relationships, and life choices. Many therapies focus on managing symptoms. Depth therapy goes further, exploring the deeper patterns that influence how we think, feel, and relate to others. I work with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, attachment difficulties, sleep problems, relationship challenges, and questions of meaning, purpose, and personal growth, often leading to greater self-awareness, freedom, and lasting change.

I take a collaborative, trauma-informed approach tailored to your needs, drawing on ACT, Narrative and Existential Therapy, mindfulness, Relational Life Therapy, and EMDR.
Are you feeling disconnected in your relationships, overwhelmed, or weighed down by a sense of emptiness? Anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, loss, or past experiences can resurface in ways that affect your sense of safety, trust, and connection. These moments can leave you feeling stuck or emotionally drained. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore what’s happening, gain clarity, and develop practical ways forward. Together, we can gently identify unhelpful patterns and strengthen resilience toward a more meaningful and grounded life.

Hi, I am a warm, informal and collaborative Clinical Psychologist working with adolescents (12+) and adults. Many people seek therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling in relationships, or feeling that something just does not feel quite right. Others want to better understand themselves, make sense of difficult experiences, or understand why life feels harder than it should. I particularly enjoy working with teen girls, neurodivergence (ADHD & Autism), relationship difficulties, trauma, and people who may find it hard to open up or have not found therapy helpful in the past.

At times we all feel anxious, stuck, lost, alone or empty. Sometimes it is fleeting, sometimes it stays for a while and sometimes it seems it is never going to leave. No two people are the same and I am committed to a collaborative approach towards understanding you and find a pathway to best resolve your emotional difficulties. I draw on a range of psychological treatment approaches including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eye Movement Densensitisation and Reprocessing, and Internal Family Systems. I recently have completed training in Deep Brain Reorienting to process lingering shock from trauma.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
