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, 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.

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.
