Ida Blazek Therapist | Mind & Body Works

Psychotherapy Training and Accreditation

Ida is an accredited therapist with the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). She holds a BA in Holistic Counselling and Psychotherapy and a certificate in Couples Counselling. She works with individuals aged 18 years and over, and couples, providing therapy in both English and Croatian.

Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

Ida works in a somatic, body-focused way, helping clients connect with and process emotions through the body and the nervous system. She is currently completing training in Embodied Processing, a somatic approach that supports clients in sensing, feeling, and releasing emotions held in the body.

Ida’s work is integrative and holistic, meaning that she uses a variety of approaches and techniques such as body work, mindfulness, IFS and inner child work. Ida aims to help clients look into their emotions and fully experience them in order to discover the aspects of themselves, of which they were previously unaware. She then helps her clients to find self-compassion and to integrate the fragmented parts of themselves in order to bring about healing.

For Ida, one of the most significant parts of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship and she believes the magic starts happening when we begin to feel security and trust in the relationship with our therapist.

As a yoga teacher, Ida naturally incorporates breath and body awareness, helping clients become more grounded, process emotions effectively and live happier and more fulfilled lives.

Ida has worked with various counselling services in Galway, as well as in private practice. Her focus is helping clients get to know themselves and start living a more authentic life. She works with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, depression, shame, loneliness, conflict avoidance and lack of belonging.

Ida has studied and lived internationally, which gives her work an intercultural dimension.

In her free time, Ida enjoys walking in nature, swimming, hiking and yoga.
