Deborah Sheehy Therapist in Dublin

Endometriosis Counselling and Support Dublin

Endometriosis is a condition that affects up to 10% of women.

 

“It is a chronic disease associated with severe, life-impacting pain during periods, sexual intercourse, bowel movements and/or urination, chronic pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, nausea, fatigue, and at times depression, anxiety, and infertility.” – World Health Organisations (WHO)

 

Despite its prevalence, it remains poorly understood and can be difficult to treat, leaving many women to navigate the condition with limited support and validation.

Every woman’s experience of endometriosis will differ. Some of the more common experiences women with endometriosis face are:

  • Chronic pain and fatigue
  • Delayed diagnosis and frustration with medical care
  • Emotional distress, including feelings of anxiety, fear, or depression
  • Challenges in relationships, work, and daily life

Deborah Sheehy offers a unique and compassionate approach to supporting women with endometriosis. Having lived with and gradually overcome stage two endometriosis herself, she deeply understands the journey of managing this condition and is dedicated to empowering other women to improve their quality of life.

Deborah provides a supportive, caring, and non-judgmental space where you can explore challenges and achieve meaningful, positive outcomes.

What Endometriosis Counselling and Support Clients Say

“Since being diagnosed with Endometriosis three years ago, working with Deborah has been a key element in my healing process. The sessions have greatly benefitted me physically, emotionally and mentally, but most of all it has helped me to better understand the connection between the mind and the body and through this understanding I have begun to heal myself. I found through the counselling that having an impartial and compassionate person to talk to, especially at the times when I felt like giving up, helped me to release negative energy and focus on the way forward. I highly recommend Deborah’s services to anyone dealing with illness, stress and/or emotional trauma, as I have gained immense help and healing from them.”
