Where inner healing brings outer transformation

Compassionate, trauma-informed, integrative counselling that’s tailored to your needs

Welcome to Chrysalis Focusing.

My name is Cliodhna Davis (FDSc, BA Hons, PG Dip) and I am a trauma-informed integrative counsellor, and experiential psychotherapist and trainer.

I work online and face to face with both adults and children facing a range of challenges.

Maybe you’ve found yourself here because you have a goal in mind and want to work towards achieving it. 

Maybe you’re feeling lost or confused, panicked or overwhelmed and just need some support right now.

You might even have found yourself caught between a part of you that can no longer handle the pain you’ve carried for so long and a part that is frightened you won't be able to handle whatever surfaces, that you'll be judged for your feelings and experiences.

Whatever has brought you here, I am here to help. Take that next step and get in touch.

Testimonials

  • My daughter’s time spent with Cliodhna has been both rewarding and positive. She can now effectively overcome her feelings of anxiety and nervousness. Cliodhna helped her manage these emotions and she now feels more in control. She can now enjoy herself rather than being overwhelmed by nerves. Thank you for your help!

  • Cliodhna is the most wonderful person. She was kind, gentle and extremely patient. She showed us how to focus ... no mean feat ... and opened us up to self appreciation and showed us the joy ...

    Thank you so much.

  • What can I say, Cliodhna is a born trainer! She is approachable, kind natured, understanding and totally put me at ease with compassion and her humour!

    I am not sure I could have done this as easily with anybody else so I have nothing but compliments for her.

What is the bravest thing you've ever said? asked the boy.

'Help,' said the horse.'

Asking for help isn't giving up,' said the horse.

'It's refusing to give up.”
