Gillian Demurtas

I am a community based clinical psychotherapist, EMDR practitioner and SEP based in the peninsula of Howth in North County Dublin.

As an integrative practitioner I customise the  therapeutic process in a collaborative, relational manner with each individual.

A fusion of Somatic Experiencing, Psychodynamic psychotherapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, EMDR, Buddhism and transpersonal energy work are delivered in a creative, authentic and conscious relational field.

My work spans a broad range of presentations, some of which are PTSD and CPTSD, developmental and relational trauma, shock trauma, anxiety, depression, life crises, spiritual emergency and stress related issues, such as professional burnout or loss.

Psychoeducation and skills development are a central aspect to the work so that the vulnerability and fear that brings us into our healing can be leveraged in the service of self actualisation.
