Cliodhna Davis

TIFI Certified Focusing Oriented Psychotherapist

TIFI Certified Focusing Trainer working with adults and children

Personal Statement:

My work combines aspects of humanistic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, creative therapy, biospirituality, wholebody focusing and relational wholebody focusing, transactional analysis, attachment theory, existential therapy and systems therapy. However, foundational to all of this is safety, the client’s own experience and how to safely express that experience whether it be through art, play, movement, story, music etc. I am particularly interested in how the body expresses trauma through pain and chronic illness, how to provide a safe container for shame to be accompanied and healed and intergenerational resilience and post-traumatic growth when working with trauma. I love what I do and the people I have the privilege to work with and strive to create a safe, supportive space for the client’s own felt experience and inner resources to be explored.
