Hi, my name is Lucy Flanagan, and I am a therapist in Galway City, Ireland. My journey into psychotherapy began at the age of 23, when I started my Honours Degree in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy with the ICPPD. This experience profoundly changed my outlook on life and deepened my understanding of myself and others, inspiring me to pursue psychotherapy as my career.
Since then, I have continued to develop my professional training through studies in Trauma-Informed Care, a Diploma in Psychology, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). More recently, I have completed training in Breathwork Therapy and Somatic Therapy, which have further shaped how I work with clients.
I believe healing involves more than just talking—it involves connecting with both the mind and the body. My approach supports clients in developing awareness of their internal experiences, helping them reconnect with their authentic selves in a deeper and more meaningful way. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood.
I work with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Therapy is tailored to each person, and sessions move at a pace that feels safe and respectful for you.
I bring not only my professional training but also my own personal growth journey into my work, allowing me to meet clients with empathy, compassion, and authenticity. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I am committed to walking alongside you as you navigate your own path toward healing and self-discovery.
I am ready for this journey when you are.
