Dr Elaine Ryan, Chartered Psychologist in Dublin

Expert anxiety and OCD guidance, screening tools and online CBT/ERP self-help programmes

I’m Dr Elaine Ryan, a Chartered Psychologist and Doctor of Psychology with over 20 years’ experience in anxiety, OCD, panic attacks and health anxiety. I previously worked in the NHS as a Highly Specialist Psychologist and have spent my career helping people understand the patterns that keep anxiety going.

I work full time providing structured, evidence-based psychoeducation, screening tools and self-paced online programmes based on CBT and ERP principles.

My aim is to help you understand what is happening, what type of help may fit your situation, and whether one of my structured online programmes is an appropriate next step.

Areas I specialise in

I’m Dr Elaine Ryan (PsychD), Doctor of Psychology. My doctoral training covered a wide range of mental health presentations, but my clinical work now focuses primarily on OCD and anxiety disorders. I provide evidence-based CBT and, for OCD, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — structured, practical treatment designed to reduce compulsions, avoidance, reassurance-seeking and panic cycles. I have doctoral level & post doctoral training in OCD and anxiety disorders.

Therapy Services

Choosing therapy in Dublin can feel confusing because there are so many titles and approaches. If you’re struggling with OCD, health anxiety, panic attacks, or anxiety, the most effective evidence-based treatments are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and — for OCD — Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I specialise in CBT and ERP for OCD and anxiety disorders (in person in Dublin and online across Ireland). Therapy is structured and practical: we identify the cycle that’s maintaining the problem (avoidance, safety behaviours, reassurance, compulsions) and use step-by-step practice to change it.
