In light of our current situation with a global pandemic, therapy practices will be closed. If this is your first time on my site, I’m a psychologist, with a specialist interest in anxiety disorders. I have been working in psychology for over 20 years, both in Ireland and the NHS in the UK.
I have offered online therapy and online self-help courses for the past eight years. The self-help courses follow the same format as sessions with me.
The following self-help options and tests are available on my site.
Online Tests
Important: These tests are not to be used as diagnostic tools and do not replace meeting with a mental health professional for a complete assessment.
