About Me - Dr Darragh O'Shea
Hi, I’m Dr Darragh O’Shea. As a chartered psychologist and accredited therapist, I’m passionate about helping people improve their mental and physical wellbeing, and I believe that real, lasting change is possible for everyone.
When I was 18, I had no idea what career would suit me — and honestly, I think that’s pretty normal! I decided to follow my interests and study Psychology, and during my undergraduate years, I became fascinated by how closely our mental and physical health are connected. That passion has guided my career ever since.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding how to best support people facing mental and physical health challenges. This journey took me to the UK, where I undertook further professional training, gained valuable experience in some of London’s leading hospitals, and built a thriving private practice in North London. During these years I feel privileged to have helped many individuals create positive change in their lives.
In 2024, I returned home to Ireland with my young family. I now balance my academic role with offering private psychological therapy at clinics in Killarney, County Kerry, and Cork City.
Using proven therapies including, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and eye movement desensitisation therapy (EMDR) I support my clients to recognise their strengths and find new ways of coping with the challenges they face. This involves developing a comprehensive and shared understanding of the main issues facing them, how they came to be, and their specific goals for psychological therapy. As such, my approach is collaborative, personalised, and structured to provide you with the best outcome.
If you’re ready to take the next step towards better mental and physical wellbeing, I’d love to help. Feel free to learn more about my qualifications on LinkedIn or get in touch via email or phone to arrange an initial consultation.
