Sharon O'Farrell

Psychotherapist (Registered)

“Over 20 years experience. Accredited and experienced psychotherapist and supervisor providing safe space for transformational therapy with a humanistic approach.”

About Me

This experienced psychotherapist supports individuals seeking profound personal growth. With over 20 years of practice, they offer a space where self-discovery can unfold safely. Their humanistic approach means sessions are collaborative, welcoming all parts of your experience without judgment. This makes them an ideal match for anyone ready to explore their inner world and build lasting, positive change.

Approach

Therapy here unfolds as a steady, paced exploration that trusts your timing and honours the parts of you that show up. I work from my Navan practice and by secure online sessions, shaping each hour around what feels most useful that week—sometimes slow reflection, sometimes focused experiential work using guided imagery and creative processes to access and reframe stuck patterns. Between sessions I offer gentle strategies to carry shifts into daily life. People facing loss, change or entrenched anxiety often find this way of working grounding and effective.
