About me
Hello! I'm Soirse and I am a Creative Therapist and EMDR Therapist practicing in North London. I help adults and teenagers who are living with the impact of difficult life experiences, struggling with low mood or feeling very anxious and not knowing why.
I am passionate about helping people understand how their minds work, process painful experiences, and explore questions about who they are and where they belong.
Clients approach me for a variety of reasons including:
- Processing trauma
- Difficult childhood experiences
- Understanding neurodivergence
- Relationship and/or communication challenges
- Developing emotional regulation
- Feeling stressed or burned out
Do you feel constantly on edge, replaying painful memories, or struggling to switch off? Maybe you’re finding it hard to sleep, coping with waves of anger or sadness, or noticing yourself withdraw from people and situations. Sometimes past experiences show up in the present - in your emotions, your relationships, and even how you see yourself - leaving you feeling stuck or disconnected.
Sessions may include open conversation, EMDR, storytelling, and creative exercises, alongside gentle ways of connecting with your body to better understand your emotions and patterns. I work with you to agree on clear goals for therapy, whether you're looking for a focused piece of work or longer-term support.

I regularly undertake continuing professional development activities to enhance my knowledge, understanding and skills.
I am experienced in providing therapy for survivors of trauma, particularly people who have experiences of PTSD/CPTSD, childhood trauma, cultural trauma and human rights abuses. I have a professional background working with refugee populations and people with neurodivergence. Whilst I specialise in these areas, I welcome clients with a wide range of concerns and experiences.
