Bridget McNamara

Psychologist
Specialised support for 
Anxiety, Burnout, Depression

As a Psychologist, Coach, and Yoga and Meditation teacher, I help people navigate the stress, overwhelm, and life transitions that can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, PTSD, or simply trying to find your footing again, I'm here to support you in finding clarity, balance, and a renewed sense of wellbeing. I work with a broad range of people, including high-achievers and those in demanding roles who are often very good at holding it together on the outside while struggling underneath. Stress and overwhelm can feel isolating, which is why I offer an individualised, collaborative approach that combines evidence-based psychological therapy with practical, holistic tools you can actually use in daily life. With a decade of experience as a psychologist, I draw on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, alongside body-based practices like yoga and mindfulness that support nervous system regulation and help you reconnect with your body, not just your thoughts. My background in coaching also means our work isn't only about symptom relief, it's about helping you build sustainable habits, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of direction in your life. I meet you where you are. Together we'll build a plan tailored to what you need, whether that's working through a specific difficulty, building resilience, or simply learning to manage stress in a way that actually lasts.
