Sorcha Buchan
Master of Professional Psychology
Hello, my name is Sorcha (she/her). I am a Psychologist and I help adults to navigate and manage complex feelings or behaviours, often as a result of unmet needs in childhood and/or trauma. I also address challenges with sense of self, identity and self-esteem.
The majority of my practice focuses on:
trauma
anxiety
depression
identity challenges and self-esteem
My clients often come to therapy with a pervasive feeling of dread and uncertainty, but after working together, they typically come to understand these feelings, and feel more at ease within themselves and in life.
About my work
I am passionate about bringing humour, providing a willingness to both teach and learn, as well as practical support and vulnerability to each therapy session. I work with my clients as colleagues and equals, developing a shared formulation and plan for therapy.
My clients are typically over-achievers, struggling with burnout, anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, and/or are struggling with feeling a sense of self. I also work closely with the LGBTIQA+ and Irish community and advocate for gender equality.
I provide trauma-informed and evidence-based care (I won't ask: whats wrong with you?, but I might ask; what happened to you?). My work is also gender-affirming, neuro-affirming, and culturally-inclusive.
