You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy.
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or unsure why life feels harder than it “should.” My role is to offer a thoughtful, compassionate space where we can make sense of what is happening together.
I am Casey Donaghey, a psychotherapist based in Galway, Ireland. My work is grounded in empathy, authenticity, accessibility, and respect for individual difference. I draw from integrative, trauma-informed, person-centred, psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy-informed ways of working, always shaped around you rather than forcing you into one rigid model.
What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy isn’t just talking—it’s a confidential space where you can truly be heard. Here, you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment, uncovering patterns that may have held you back. Together, we’ll help you; gain clarity and self-awareness about your emotions and experiences, process difficult moments that feel heavy or unresolved, and build practical tools to cope with life’s challenges in healthier ways.
Through our work, you’ll start to see your life from new perspectives, strengthen your emotional resilience, and reclaim a sense of control. You may even discover parts of yourself you haven’t noticed—or haven’t felt safe exploring—until now. This is your opportunity to create meaningful change, step by step, in a space designed entirely for you.

I use a variety of skills to meet individual needs, including; humanism, mindfulness, psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioural therapy.

I provide specialised support across a range of life challenges, creating a compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and grow.
