Meet Patrick O'Hanlon

I'm an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist working with adults. My work is built on a simple belief: human connection, and the relationship between therapist and client, is the foundation for meaningful change.

I offer a calm, supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore difficult thoughts, emotions and life experiences at your own pace. Nothing is rushed, and nothing you bring is too small or too complicated to be worth talking about.

My approach is grounded in humanistic and person-centred therapy, with a strong interest in psychodynamic and existential work — particularly around meaning, identity, choice and life transitions.

Before training as a therapist, I spent many years working in high-pressure professional environments. That experience informs how I understand stress, burnout, self-criticism and the emotional cost of demanding work and life circumstances.

“It's the relationship that heals, the relationship that heals, the relationship that heals—my professional rosary.”Irvin D. Yalom (1989, p. 112)
