Welcome to Lighthouse Therapy, a counselling and psychotherapy practice based in Naas, County Kildare. My name is Lynn McGovern, and I’m a qualified counselling psychotherapist and applied psychologist working with adults and adolescents aged 16 and over, both in person and online.
I draw on psychotherapy, applied psychology, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), so our work together can be shaped around what actually fits you — not a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you’re trying to understand your neurodivergence, feeling burnt out, supporting a teenager through a hard patch, or working through relationship struggles, therapy can offer a space to make sense of what’s going on.
To learn more about who I am and how I work, just click the about tab. You can also contact me directly to arrange a FREE 15 minute free chat to see if we’re the right fit.

My Ethos
Client Led
I believe that the role of a therapist is to illuminate the way by helping you to explore your options and make positive changes.
Practical
I use various psychological modalities such as CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy. I also use other tools such as psychometric testing, personality testing, nervous system regulation strategies, and self-care techniques.
Neuroaffirming
I practice an affirmative model for all forms of neurodivergence including autism and ADHD. As a late diagnosed ADHDer myself, I also recognise the particular challenges of being neurodivergent.
Flexible
I offer in-person, online, and walk and talk therapy services in the afternoons and evenings. My practice is also open to anyone around the world.
I have a particular interest and experience in the following areas:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Anxiety
- Neurodivergence
- Adolescent therapy
- Stress and burnout
- Relationship issues, including recovering from narcissistic abuse and coercive control
- Chronic illness
