I'm a psychotherapist specialising in migraine and chronic pain. Are you living with migraine and exhausted from pushing through? Constantly working, showing up, keeping going — all while feeling no one understands what it costs you? Do you feel guilty about cancelling plans, worry about the next attack and find it difficult to relax? You may feel like you've already tried everything and nothing makes a difference. Perhaps you also live with other pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and back or neck pain.

Gabriela Bucur
Psychotherapist, MIACP
1 Endorsed
Dublin, County D06
I use Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Integrative and Humanistic Approaches in my practice to help you look at your thoughts and how they affect your emotions and experiences.
Gabriela is a Multilingual MIACP accredited Psychotherapist and Logotherapist. Her practice is rooted in Multicultural Humility, combining Clinical Precision with the depth of Existential and Psychoanalytic Thought to honor the intersecting identities of her clients. Gabriela’s perspective on the human condition was forged at the intersection of high-touch human vulnerability in Romanian orphanages and high-tech medical intervention in Irish hospitals. This transition to the "Soul-Work" of psychotherapy was a natural evolution. She believes while Medicine can heal the Body, the Human Spirit must navigate the Search for Meaning.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and questions around identity, including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent experiences. Many feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and are seeking clarity, balance, and a deeper understanding of themselves. As an integrative, humanistic psychotherapist, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space, adapting therapy to each person. Through reflection, practical tools, and (where suitable) Walk & Talk sessions in nature, I support clients in moving forward with greater self-awareness and confidence.

Shaunna Impey Charles
Psychotherapist, MA, MIACP
Dublin, County D02
My approach is psychodynamic—we explore how past experiences shape present patterns.
Clients who attend my practice are adults who feel stuck—anxious, empty, or caught in patterns they can't break. Some come exhausted by worry that won't quiet. Others feel numb, going through motions without joy. Many are navigating hard transitions: parenthood, loss, career changes, and relationship endings. Some repeat the same fights or choose partners who can't meet them. What they share is a willingness to understand themselves. I help by offering a space where you don't have to perform. I listen differently—tracking patterns beneath the surface. Together, we connect dots you couldn't see alone.

I am a licensed therapist who primarily works with couples who feel stuck in the same painful patterns - maybe repeating arguments, growing distance, or feeling misunderstood even when they’re trying hard to connect. My work is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy, with an emphasis on helping partners slow things down, understand what’s happening underneath the conflict, and rebuild a sense of emotional safety with each other.

Psychotherapist, Pre-Accredited Member IACP

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed approaches.
You might be feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by thoughts you rarely share. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what is underneath, and start to feel more like yourself again. I do not believe in fixing people; I believe in understanding, healing, and helping you reconnect with yourself. I offer a warm, confidential space where you can speak freely, without judgment or pressure. My approach is relational and integrative, rooted in deep listening and honest reflection. I do not rush to label or fix; instead, we explore what is beneath the surface so genuine healing can begin.
