Lighthouse Therapy is a counselling and psychotherapy service based in Naas, county Kildare. My name is Lynn McGovern and I am a qualified counselling psychotherapist and psychologist. Currently, I see adults and adolescents over the age of 16 both in person and online. I am trained in psychotherapy, counselling, applied psychology, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
I believe that everyone can use support at different points in their lives, and that therapy can be a safe place to help you overcome challenges, learn about what makes you tick, and develop your own tool kit of life skills. 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. 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
