Mr John O’Connor

Registered Counselor

“Experienced, qualified and compassionate psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and NLP practitioner”

About Me

Clients seeking a compassionate and flexible approach will find a dedicated space here. This experienced psychotherapist draws on integrative psychotherapy and NLP expertise, tailoring support to your unique needs. Sessions help you explore challenges, gain clarity, and build practical strategies for daily life. This blend of understanding and practical tools is ideal for those ready to make meaningful changes.

Approach

Sessions are purposeful and collaborative, combining compassionate curiosity with clear, manageable steps to help you make sense of emotional patterns. In my Dublin practice, working in English, I hold a steady, flexible pace—some meetings focus on making space for grief or past hurt, others on building concrete skills to use between sessions. I blend conversational checks, brief experiential exercises and targeted reflections to address addiction, anger, stress and relationship wounds, adapting as you progress. Those coping with loss, burnout or complex emotions often find this steady, practical way helpful.
