Dr Clodagh Coyle

Clinical Psychologist

Nadia Giannelou

“I am a compassionate and collaborative Clinical Psychologist, committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I recognise the courage it takes to come to therapy, and I aim to work alongside clients in a way that feels empowering, validating, and tailored to their unique journey. My work is guided by the belief that people do the best they can with the resources they have, and that therapy can support the development of new ways of relating to oneself and others. “Counsellor & Psychotherapist

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in trauma, gender-based and sexual violence. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, particularly when past experiences have affected trust, safety, or relationships. My aim is to provide a steady, compassionate and honest space where clients feel emotionally safe and supported to explore their experiences at their own pace.

I place human connection at the heart of my work. I believe that lasting change is most likely when people feel genuinely seen and supported. I strive to offer a space where everyone feels welcome, valued, and able to explore their thoughts and emotions openly, at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

Much of my work has involved supporting survivors of sexual and gender-based violence and childhood adversity. I have experience working with complex trauma, including shame, dissociation, relational difficulties, and the long-term impact of abuse. Alongside trauma-focused work, I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

In addition to my clinical training, I am a Yoga Alliance–accredited teacher and sometimes bring gentle mindfulness and body-based practices into sessions. These techniques support the mind-body connection, helping clients develop awareness, calm, and emotional regulation alongside evidence-based psychological therapy.

I also offer couples and relationship therapy, supporting partners who may be navigating communication difficulties, trust ruptures, emotional disconnection, or recurring relational patterns.

Clinical Experience

I have a range of experience working across the lifespan with people facing various mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficulties related to self-esteem and emotional regulation. I also work within the NHS in a child and adolescent mental health service and work with a broad range of mental health and psychological difficulties.For the past eight years, I have worked within specialist trauma services, third-sector organisations, higher education, private practice, and associate clinical settings, supporting adults, young adults, and students.

My previous roles have included working across different NHS services including a specialist forensic service supporting individuals with complex and varied presentations. These roles have strengthened my ability to work thoughtfully with complexity, risk, and uncertainty, while maintaining a compassionate and person-centred approach. I am passionate about trauma-informed practice and bring this lens into my therapeutic work by prioritising safety, trust, and collaboration. I aim to work in ways that respect individual boundaries, support autonomy, and recognise the impact of life experiences on wellbeing.I work in a person-centred, trauma-focused way, guided by the therapeutic relationship. I hold an anti-oppressive, feminist perspective, recognising that our experiences are shaped not only by personal history but also by wider social and cultural contexts. I support clients with an awareness of how trauma can affect both the mind and body, creating a space grounded in empathy, respect, and connection.
