Mr Michael Ryan

Psychotherapist

“Fully qualified and accredited therapist who works with Adolescents and Adults. Anxiety, Relationships, LGBTQIA+, Autism Identity,Self-Esteem, Loss,Trauma”

About Me

As an accredited psychotherapist, I offer a supportive space for adolescents and adults to explore life's challenges. I help individuals navigate anxiety, relationships, and the complexities of loss or trauma. Whether you are exploring your LGBTQIA+ or autism identity, or building self-esteem, I create a safe environment. We can work together at your own pace, making sense of your experiences to find a way forward.

Approach

When anxiety, questions of identity or the ache of loss show up, my focus is on how we notice patterns and test small shifts that feel manageable. Sessions in Dublin or online, conducted in English, move at a steady, collaborative pace — part listening, part practical reflection — and I often suggest short, tailored practices between appointments to help new ways settle. This way of working suits young people, adults and autistic clients seeking clear, gentle support to make sense of difficult moments.
