Counselling

Sarah O’Shea is a dedicated Holistic, Trauma & Somatically-Informed Wellness Counsellor at Ananta Wellness & Osteopathy Clinic. With a deep understanding that “the body keeps the score,” Sarah is passionate about supporting individuals toward healing by reconnecting with their innate ability to restore safety and connection in one’s healing journey.

Sarah’s approach is rooted in meeting individuals exactly where they are, honoring their experiences and emotions with compassion and curiosity. She sees the healing journey as a collaborative process—where the client remains in the pilot seat while she supports as a co-pilot, offering guidance, tools, and the occasional emergency brake when needed. With a strong foundation in neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and emotion-focused work, Sarah helps clients transform their protective mechanisms into sources of empowerment, fostering greater resilience and connection.

Her therapeutic approach integrates the following elements to cultivate self-awareness, emotional regulation, and mind-body integration: 

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Breathwork
• Mindfulness practices, habit & pattern work
• Somatic trauma healing 

In addition to one-on-one counseling, Sarah facilitates workshops on Polyvagal Theory and the application of neurobiology in therapy with a focus on the autonomic nervous system, effective communication, and building emotional attunement toward a life of emotional resilience, equipping clients with practical tools for long-term well-being. She is deeply committed to creating a safe, supportive space where individuals can shift from merely surviving to truly thriving.

At Ananta Wellness & Osteopathy Clinic, Sarah brings warmth, expertise, and a deep respect for the mind-body connection, helping clients harness their own neurobiology to support healing, safety, and connection. Sarah will be offering sessions for both individuals and couples. 

Sarah completed her BA in Psychology and a Diploma in Youth Work and Sociology in Dublin. She has a Integrated Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate from  The Embody Lab and Diploma, with Honors in Life Coach Wellness Counsellor Diploma from Rhodes Wellness College.
