About me and my therapy practice

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or struggling to navigate past trauma or life as a neurodivergent person, you're not alone. Going from surviving to thriving can be a challenge, especially in a world that often feels like it wasn’t designed for you.

My name is Marcus O'Shea, and I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Whether you're looking for practical research and evidence backed coping strategies, deeper emotional healing, or simply a place to be heard, I’m here to support you.

I work in a collaborative and flexible manner, with understanding my client's stories and experiences as my priority. Integrating a variety of approaches and tools, I aim to work together with you to learn about your unique experience and how to best foster healing and growth. I actively seek feedback and open dialogue with clients to consistently improve my practice, an approach which has been proven to improve outcomes for clients.


Practice description

I believe each client is unique, and seek to establish an empathic, accepting space where you can feel safe to share your feelings and experiences, talk through the issues you’re facing, and find the solution that’s right for you.

From there, I can offer a variety of tools and techniques that can help between sessions to help with issues such as anxiety, emotional regulation, habit change, addiction, self-esteem, impulsiveness, and motivation, drawn from the best, evidence backed practices at the cutting edge of research that work with your brain, not against it.

I also work from a trauma informed and trained basis, which means I am experienced in how to work through and process trauma with clients in a safe manner.

Specialist areas of focus include:

Depression

Social and General anxiety.

Burnout and motivation loss.

Trauma.

Somatic issues (chronic pain, exhaustion, and others)

Neurodiversity.

ADHD and Autism.

Disability issus.

LGBT and Queer friendly practice.

Relationship and Sexuality related issues, including polyamory, non-monogamy, and sex positive practice.

If you're interested in my approach, or are struggling with any of the issues I've mentioned, reach out today by email or messaging on the platform. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to answer any questions you might have and help you find out if I'm the right fit for you.

"Marcus creates a safe and supportive environment where I feel comfortable opening up about my struggles.
