About Ms Gerardine Boyle

Ms Gerardine Boyle is an experienced mental health practitioner and art psychotherapist who has worked in the field of mental health for more than twenty years. Her work focuses particularly on trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment difficulties, low self-esteem, and nervous system regulation through somatic and relational therapeutic approaches.

She specialises in Transforming Touch Therapy®, a body-based therapeutic modality that works directly with the nervous system to support healing and regulation across the whole person. Her therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the belief that recovery from emotional suffering is possible through compassionate, client-led processes that reconnect individuals with safety, self-understanding, and embodied wisdom.

Ms Boyle works with individuals experiencing chronic cycles of depression, anxiety, emotional restriction, shame, self-rejection, and feelings of disconnection or lack of fulfilment. Her approach emphasises reducing harsh self-judgement through increased awareness, compassion, and reconnection with bodily experience and emotional meaning.

Her professional training includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Art Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), alongside extensive specialist training in trauma-informed and neuroscience-based therapeutic models.

She also integrates creative therapies, mindfulness-based inquiry, somatic and attachment-focused psychotherapy, and has studied the Diamond Approach for over fifteen years. Her practice includes familiarity with the Hearing Voices Approach, supporting individuals who experience voice hearing within a compassionate, non-pathologising framework.

Ms Boyle is a professional member of the Irish Association of Creative Arts Therapies and works from a deeply relational, body-informed, and trauma-sensitive therapeutic perspective.

I have attended Gerardine over a 2 year period with amazing results from the Somatic treatment she does.(Transformative touch) The ease at which I found being able to relax and allow my body to unwind was intact really. She put me at ease and guided me through the process before we began which is very important when you are woking on deep issues from the past especially around uncomfortable feelings and experiences. As this is the journey into those uncomfortable spaces and feeling fro resolution this type of comfort is very important and was easy to be relaxed with Gerardine to navigate this area. She is very professional, warm in attitude and caring which is what you need in these explorations. As the process when on more and more layers were revealed and released and safety coming in as a result. With the conclusion of these feelings associated with harsh experiences from the past do not affect me at all any more. If you are willing to do the work and stick it out you will get the same sense of safety coming back in and the resolution you are looking for in your life. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Gerardine was very professional and very approachable. During my work with her, she gave me the courage to explore my traumas. I was able to build a trusting relationship with her that allowed me to feel comfortable in the work we carried out. Thanks Gerardine for your commitment to me.

Gerardine was always kind, gentle and professional with me. We collaborated together to make sessions work for me and I appreciated her flexibility around using Transformative Touch Therapy techniques and just having some time to talk.

It was a wonderful experience, at this precise moment in my life due to sickness it is dificult for me to relax and go within, but after a treatment with Geraldine I felt much more at ease, we did few treatments and there was real improvement! 🙏🏻

Gerardine has had such a welcoming and non judgemental attitude ever since our first session. Gerardine's work with me has helped to change my life. She goes at my pace, never rushes. Since starting the transforming touch thearpy with Geradine I have become better at understanding my nervous system. Knowing my own window of tolerance. Before this work I was in dorsal collapse for extremely long periods of time. Because of Gerardines patience with me my episodes are getting less frequent and I have more space in my system. I don't fully understand how the transforming touch works. But all I can say is it does. I have gone from being depressed, unemployed and extremely vulnerable to now having a job and learning to drive and living independently. The changes may come dripping slowly but that is the beauty of it there is no pressure. You gradually you begin to unfurl. Gerardine has never told me to stop any of my behaviors she has said they will fade away when I don't need them any more. The table top work was knew to me but I trusted Gerardine and I'm so happy I did! Gerardine has really made me feel seen and understood. I have early developmental trauma and this is the only work I have done that addresses that properly. I could not recommend her more. If you are struggling and you may have tried many different therapies and wanted to give up, then I strongly suggest you make an appointment with Gerardine and experience transforming touch. She is an amazing therapist and I have been to many. I have been with Gerardine going on five years now and my wish for you is that...

Working with G has had a meaningful and measurable impact on my life. From the outset, she has demonstrated a consistent ability to be fully present and to understand me clearly. In her sessions, I experience a level of acceptance and non judgment that creates a reliable and supportive environment. What I value most is the way she engages with me during more vulnerable moments. She does not rush the process or push for change before I am ready. Instead, she remains steady and attentive, which has allowed me to explore areas of myself that I had previously avoided. As a result, I’ve noticed tangible shifts in how I relate to myself, to others, and to the challenges I encounter. I am grateful to be working with her. She has been a stable and constructive influence in my healing process, and the work we’ve done together has contributed significantly to my personal growth.

I attended two sessions of Transforming Touch Therapy with Gerardine. These sessions are very gentle, yet deeply profound. Receiving the healing feels safe, calm and relaxing. Gerardine is amazing to work with, her presence and her approach are so calming, respectful and compassionate. Afterwards, there was a deep sense of peace which felt new. I went away feeling lifted each time. In the days after, my nervous system responded profoundly, the healing feels as if it goes into the most held and most closed spaces within. I highly recommend this healing. This is valuable work. I highly recommend what Gerardine can offer.
