Our Story
Welcome to New Energy Therapy
New Energy Therapy is a private psychotherapy and play therapy practice based in Clondalkin, Dublin. Founded in 2013 by Gavin, the practice originally specialised in sports massage, deep tissue massage, and dry needling, following his work in a clinical therapy setting.
Over time, Gavin became increasingly aware that many clients presenting with physical pain were also experiencing significant emotional stress, anxiety, and unresolved trauma. This insight led him to pursue further professional training, qualifying as a Psychotherapist in 2020. Since then, Gavin has undertaken extensive specialist training in trauma therapy, with a particular focus on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). He is also an associate lecturer with PCI College, is trained in EMDR supervision, and is currently completing a diploma in supervision for the helping professions.
In June 2024, New Energy Therapy evolved to focus exclusively on two core therapeutic services: EMDR Psychotherapy with Gavin and Play Therapy with Ciara.
Ciara is a qualified Play Therapist and an experienced Montessori teacher with over 20 years’ experience working with children. She brings warmth, creativity, and deep understanding to her therapeutic work, providing a safe and supportive space where children can express themselves, process emotions, and build resilience.
Gavin and Ciara are married and have two children, which further informs their compassionate, family-centred approach.
At New Energy Therapy, we are committed to supporting emotional wellbeing across the lifespan. Whether you are seeking EMDR psychotherapy for yourself or play therapy for your child, we welcome your enquiries and are happy to discuss how our services can support you or your family on the journey towards healing and growth.
