Mr Michael McGann

Psychotherapist

Integrative approach working with couples and individuals esp with Anxiety Depression Relationship Addiction & Autism

About Me

I work with individuals and couples, offering an integrative approach. We can explore feelings of anxiety, depression, and the complexities of relationships. We also make sense of addiction patterns or navigate the unique landscape of autism. My aim is to help you find clarity and develop practical tools tailored to your specific needs. This collaborative space is ideal for those seeking a flexible, thoughtful way forward.

Approach

My work unfolds as a practical, stepwise collaboration that balances focused skill-building with space to notice patterns beneath the surface. In sessions in Athlone or online, we move at a pace that suits you—sometimes structured CBT-style exercises, other times slower trauma-focused processing—then I offer brief, concrete tasks to try between meetings. I use grounding, gentle exposure and eye-movement methods when helpful, always checking in on tolerability and meaning. This way of working often suits people seeking clarity and steady, manageable progress.
