Elm Therapy Dublin

You deserve to feel safe again

If you're in an emotionally abusive relationship—or finding your way out—you don't have to face this alone. Discover the healing power of group therapy with others who truly understand.

You're not imagining it. And you're not alone.

Emotional abuse leaves invisible wounds. The confusion, self-doubt, and fear are real—and they deserve real support.

"Do you feel isolated, like no one understands what you're going through?"

"Are you constantly walking on eggshells, afraid of triggering your partner's anger?"

"Do you question your own reality and wonder if you're the problem?"

"Are you considering separation but terrified of what comes next?"

If any of this sounds familiar, group therapy can help.

Our Approach

The Power of Group Psychotherapy

For 15 years, I've witnessed the transformative power of group therapy for people healing from emotional abuse. There's something uniquely powerful about healing alongside others who truly understand.

You're Not Alone

Connect with others who truly understand. In group therapy, you'll find validation and support from people walking a similar path.

A Safe Space

Our groups provide a confidential, non-judgmental environment where you can speak freely and heal at your own pace.

Rebuild Your Sense of Self

Rediscover who you are beyond the relationship. Learn to trust yourself again and develop healthy boundaries.

What to Expect

Group Sessions

Small, intimate groups of 6-8 people meet weekly in a supportive environment. Sessions focus on understanding emotional abuse patterns, building self-worth, and developing healthy coping strategies.

Whether you're still in the relationship, considering separation, or rebuilding your life after leaving, our groups are tailored to where you are in your journey.

Meet Your Therapist

Debbie Farrell

For over 15 years, I've dedicated my practice to supporting people through one of life's most difficult experiences: navigating emotionally abusive relationships and finding the strength to move forward.

I believe deeply in the power of group therapy. When you sit with others who truly understand your experience—who don't question or minimise what you've been through—something profound happens. You begin to see yourself clearly again.

My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I'm here to walk alongside you, not to judge or rush you. Healing takes time, and you deserve patient, compassionate support.
