Ms Donna Redmond

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“A highly trained and experienced psychotherapist, art and play therapist, working with adults, adolescents and children.”

About Me

As an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I also offer art and play therapy. I work with adults, adolescents, and children, providing a thoughtful space to explore feelings and experiences. Using conversation, creative expression, or play, we can gently uncover what lies beneath. This deep, tailored exploration helps clients understand themselves better. It's a good match for anyone seeking lasting change and new ways to navigate life's challenges.

Approach

You’ll find sessions that balance thoughtful listening with gentle activities—drawing, sand play or speaking about dreams—to uncover what shapes feelings and behaviour. In Dublin or online, in English, I keep the pace attuned to whoever sits opposite me, mixing focused reflection with hands-on or symbolic work and occasional feedback between sessions. I pay close attention to patterns around eating, anxiety and trauma, and to how children show distress through play, using what emerges to shape our next steps. This way of working suits people seeking steady, lasting understanding.
