Come Home to Your Body. Come Home to Yourself.
"You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves" - Mary Oliver
Embodied psychotherapy, somatic coaching and body-led nourishment for adults. In person in Dublin and online, with Clíodhna O’Carroll.
At PsychBody, our mission is to reconnect mind and body through therapeutic practices grounded in the science of embodiment. We offer an inclusive, compassionate space where people can safely explore their inner world, access the wisdom of the body, and begin to heal and transform in an integrated way. We believe lasting change happens when we move beyond talk and into felt experience, supporting clients in becoming more whole, present, and alive.
You are capable in every room and absent from your own life
Outwardly steady, inwardly far away from connection and vitality. Embodied psychotherapy is slow work with what your capability has been covering and regaining access to self.
Food has stopped being simple and started becoming stressful
Eating has become something you manage, negotiate or override. Body-led nourishment is about your relationship with food and nourishment, rather than the contents of your plate
You are striving but no longer achieving the life you want
Your body has been running on alert for long enough that stillness feels like a task. Somatic coaching works with the nervous system, rather than the to-do list. We work towards your values, in a nervous-system informed way.

Testimonials
I feel like the work with Clíodhna has transformed my life in so many ways. In a time of real struggle, I would look forward to our sessions together as Clíodhna gave me the space to unload and take the weight of each week off my back. That space allowed me to learn about myself - without even realising at the time that I was making progress. I had done therapy before meeting Clíodhna, but it didn’t have the same impact for me. I can’t thank her enough for her time and patience.
I really enjoyed my sessions with Clíodhna and found them practical and helpful. The guidance I got from her taught me how to meaningfully process my emotions and made everyday life feel easier to navigate. As an ethnic minority, it meant a lot to work with a therapist who was understanding of my experiences and intentional about learning how to best support someone in a different position than herself. Her approach to therapy created a space where I felt safe to be vulnerable, open and honest, both with her and myself.
I found the sessions I had with Cliodhna was a real eye opener for me. As Cliodhna is a very good listener and a great conversationalist and very trusting which allowed for me who would normally be quite private to open up and allow to express myself. I felt very comfortable having discussions and knowing that anything we discussed private. I have learnt a lot about myself through this process and would recommend that anyone thinking of looking at a new career or moving jobs should certainly go through this process and I would recommend speaking with Cliodhna.
