Ms Jennifer A Hamilton

Psychotherapist

My approach is Humanistic and Person-Centred with a body-mind perspective. It emphasises the importance of the body and ‘bodywork’ in achieving holding and maintaining emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being. It helps a person restore self-regulation.

About Me

My humanistic and person-centred approach integrates your mind and body. We explore how physical sensations connect with emotions, offering a gentle path to deeper self-understanding. This 'bodywork' emphasis helps you restore self-regulation, fostering emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Clients seeking a holistic way to navigate challenges often find this perspective empowering for lasting calm and balance.

Approach

By attending to bodily signals alongside thoughts and feelings, therapy becomes a gentle exploration of how experience is held in the body and can be shifted. In my Galway clinic or online, sessions move at your pace, combining calm, body-aware practices with open conversation in English so you feel held and understood. We notice sensations, map patterns that keep you stuck, and develop simple skills to settle your nervous system between meetings. Those facing trauma, loss, addictive urges or relational strain often find this steady, embodied way helpful.
