Lynn McGovern

Lynn is a qualified psychotherapist, counsellor, and applied psychologist. She holds a degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Middlesex University and a Master’s in Applied Psychology from Trinity College Dublin. As an integrative therapist, Lynn draws from a range of modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Her background in research also provides a strong foundation in theory and evidence-based practice.

Lynn is a neuroaffirming therapist and has completed the DAWN Autism Practitioner Programme and the PESI ADHD Certified Clinical Programme. Her areas of speciality include neurodivergence, anxiety, stress, domestic abuse, adolescent therapy (16+), and chronic illness.

Lynn’s work is grounded in empathy and non-judgment, with a deep belief that healing is possible for everyone. She places a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, creating a warm and safe space where clients can explore their experiences openly and authentically. Her approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual, incorporating nervous system regulation techniques, psychoeducation, attachment work, and self-care strategies to support long-term growth. Where appropriate, she may also draw on psychometric tools to support insight and guide treatment.

Lynn brings a broad and socially informed background to her therapeutic work, having previously worked in the areas of domestic violence, supported housing, youth mental health, disability, and patient advocacy. These experiences enrich her understanding of the diverse challenges clients may face and shape her inclusive approach.

Lynn feels privileged to walk alongside people as they navigate challenges, rediscover their strengths, and build happier lives. Above all else, her work is guided by the belief expressed in the proverb:

“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.”
