Donna O’ Shea

Description of Work and Background:

Meet Donna O’Shea, a compassionate and experienced Gestalt Psychotherapist who believes in the healing powers of nature. Donna is passionate about supporting others to find solace, growth and transformation through the therapeutic experience of nature. Through her unique approach to therapy, Donna encourages her clients to connect with their inner self while immersing themselves in the beauty and tranquility of nature. Some clients may prefer to bring 'nature' indoors, in the comfort of her office. Maybe some clients will not feel comfortable on the idea of ‘Outdoors’ (especially with 4 seasons in 1 day here in Ireland!) and would like to just focus on the 'Therapy'. She also offers Remote Therapy where the client feels comfortable in their own surroundings.
Donna is a compassionate therapist who works with a wide range of general issues. She creates a safe and nurturing space where all ages can discover new possibilities with her expertise in Play, Gestalt and Eco Therapy. She worked for government agencies (HSE, Tusla and University Limerick), non-profit organisations, community support groups and now her own private practice of ‘Inner Wild Therapy’. Her background is in Child Protection. She supports children, young people, families and adults who have suffered childhood trauma and helps them heal their 'Inner Child' wounds.
Drawing from the principles of Gestalt Therapy, Donna empowers her clients to embrace their present experiences and explore their sensations, emotions, thoughts and behaviours in the context of their surroundings. She believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship. She works collaboratively with her clients to uncover their innate strengths; challenge limiting beliefs and find their true authentic self.
Seeking support is brave. It requires placing trust in me. Donna guides her clients to believe that they have the innate ability to heal. Please take the first step on your courageous, compassionate and caring journey towards your wellbeing. Your path to self-compassion and personal growth awaits! Thank you for reading my profile.
