Something brought you here today.
You don't have to name it yet.
Maybe it's been building for years. Maybe something happened and you haven't been the same since. Maybe you're just tired of carrying it alone.
I'm Annette Coffey, accredited counsellor, psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner. I work online with clients across Ireland.
You will feel safe here.
Most people tell me they didn't expect to feel so at ease so soon.
They came in braced. Unsure where to start.
And then something settled.
No agenda. No clock-watching.
No sense that you're too much.
Just you, at your pace, with someone who will stay right beside you.

Why both women & men
from all walks of life work with me
Trauma that keeps surfacing. Anxiety that never fully quiets. Grief that others think should be over. Addiction that feels hopeless. Abuse that keeps impacting you. The sense that something is wrong, but no words for it yet.
All of it is welcome here.

Some things can't be talked away.
If you've tried to work through something and keep hitting the same wall, that's not a failure. Some experiences get lodged in the nervous system in a way that talking alone can't reach.
EMDR helps your brain do what it couldn't do at the time. Process it. Reduce its hold on your present. Without having to relive it in detail.
Endorsed by the World Health Organization and the American Psychological Association. One of the most evidenced therapies available for trauma.
I am an accredited EMDR practitioner with EMDR All Ireland and EMDR Europe, integrating it carefully, collaboratively, always at your pace.
How sessions work technically.
I use a secure, encrypted platform called Bilateral Base. It requires no downloads or applications, you simply open a link. It is built specifically for online EMDR, with a function that times and delivers the bilateral eye movement stimulation your session needs, safely and simply.
About Annette.
I work online with clients across Ireland, drawing on CBT Person Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic and Existential approaches, along side EMDR.
Beyond the qualifications, I have worked through my own issues. I know what it is to carry difficult things. That's not something you learn in a lecture hall. It means you are not a case when you sit with me. You are a person.
People trust me. They go deeper than they expected. They say things they've never said out loud before.
That is the work. And it is a privilege every time.
