Hi, I’m Janet.

I am an IAHIP Accredited Psychotherapist working in private practice in Dublin city centre.

I support adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, overwhelm, self-doubt, burnout, work stress, and the pressure to hold everything together. I have particular experience working with women, trans women, LGBTQIA+ clients, and neurodivergent adults, while also welcoming men seeking support in a warm, non-judgmental space.

I have a particular interest in working with OCD and am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I support clients experiencing intrusive thoughts, obsessive fears, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, and the distress and uncertainty that can accompany OCD. I understand that OCD can take many forms and that intrusive thoughts can feel particularly frightening, shameful, or difficult to talk about. My aim is to offer a space where these experiences can be discussed openly and without judgement.

Many of the people I work with also experience chronic overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the exhaustion of masking, particularly neurodivergent adults navigating ADHD, autism, or a late diagnosis. I offer a space where you can slow down, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and begin to relate to yourself with more understanding and ease.

I have a particular interest in women’s mental health, including hormonal transitions, reproductive experiences (including post-abortion support), workplace stress, and identity shifts across different life stages.

Before retraining as a psychotherapist, I worked in HR and Office Management, mentoring early-career professionals. This gives me a grounded understanding of organisational dynamics, career transitions, burnout, and the realities of managing mental health within professional environments.

I have a particular interest in supporting people working in high-pressure and caring professions, including healthcare and veterinary professionals, where responsibility, emotional demands, perfectionism and the pressure to keep functioning can contribute to stress and burnout.

My approach is humanistic and integrative. I offer a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space and adapt my approach to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I am neurodivergent-affirming, gender-affirming, and LGBTQIA+-affirming in my practice.

I am also a trained Neurodiversity Coach, which complements my psychotherapy work and brings an additional understanding of neurodivergent experiences, including masking, overwhelm, burnout, relationships, identity and navigating work and everyday life.
