Ms Suzanne O Connor

Psychotherapist

“An experienced, competent and compassionate Health Psychologist working predominately with those learning to cope with illness.”

About Me

Navigating life with an illness often brings complex emotions and practical concerns. As an integrative psychotherapist, I offer a compassionate space to explore these challenges. We can work together to process feelings, develop coping strategies, and find renewed strength. My approach is tailored to your unique experience, helping you adapt and live more fully. This support is for anyone seeking to manage the emotional impact of their health journey.

Approach

Working with people adjusting to health challenges, I focus on practical, steady steps that honour both emotion and everyday limits. I offer sessions from Co Wicklow and online in English, aiming for a confidential, accessible atmosphere. Sessions are gentle and structured—collaborative short-term goals, emotion processing, activity pacing and simple coping plans to try between meetings—tailored to your energy and life rhythm. This way of working suits adults and older adults seeking grounded, compassionate support.
