Trauma Psychologists in Dublin

Trauma therapy treats what stays behind after a frightening or overwhelming event.

The World Health Organization names psychological treatment as the first choice for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) ¹. Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy and EMDR have the most evidence.

Treatment usually includes preparation, and work on the memory itself comes later. It is for people whose symptoms have persisted.

Not everyone who has been through something bad needs it. Ask a practitioner which approaches they are trained in.

Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.

Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.

Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.

See the Ireland page for the professions that do carry a register there.
