About Me

Sarah-Jane Ryan MIAHIP, MICP

Originally from Dublin, Ireland, I lived in Berlin from 2016 to 2021, and worked with a large client group from many different backgrounds.

Prior to that, I graduated with an MA from University College Dublin in 2008 and trained for three years with the Tivoli Institute, obtaining a diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy in 2012. I received full accreditation with the Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy and the Irish Council for Psychotherapy in 2016.

I have worked in several clinics in Dublin including Monkstown Therapy Centre, Insight Matters, and the Hanover Medical Centre.

I have completed courses on topics such as attachment theory, the mother/daughter relationship, Compassion Focused Therapy, coaching, shame, mindfulness and HSPs). Ongoing supervision with an accredited supervisor and continuing professional development ensure I work to the highest standard of practice.

Testimonials

  • ‘Sarah-Jane helped me recognise elements in my approach to myself and to interactions that greatly contributed to developing more positive relationships and to solving a career impasse.

    Throughout a most meaningful therapy course, and with careful attention to detail, to change and to my well-being, Sarah-Jane helped me see the connections between practice and convictions I held and difficulties I experienced. She additionally shared various methods with which to explore situations and feelings. With these, I approach everyday situations more reflexively, feel more at peace with myself, and continue to learn’.

  • ‘I had wanted to explore therapy for a while, but I was unsure where to start and felt quite anxious and daunted about the whole process. Sarah-Jane put me immediately at ease, and I felt comfortable speaking with her right from the first session.

    Her approach is gentle and empathetic, but incredibly insightful. Through her continuing guidance and support, I have been able to start tackling some childhood traumas, and this has helped me to better navigate present-day issues and anxieties connected to my work and personal relationships.

    Sarah-Jane's sessions have been an incredible resource for me, and have helped me gain a better understanding of my thoughts and emotions. Through continuing sessions she helps me build resilience, and I have started to feel much calmer in my daily life and better able to tackle difficult situations when they arise. Her approach works very well for me, and I would recommend her to anyone who is considering counselling or therapy -- it will be the best gift you can give yourself’.

  • ‘I am really grateful for how supportive Sarah-Jane has been in my process. She created a space in which I felt seen and heard. She has such a gift for seeing the bigger picture and understanding the deeper aspects of an issue. By having Sarah-Jane create such a space and then offer helpful insights, I was able to see things in my own life that I needed to confront as well as embrace parts of myself that I had been neglecting’.

  • ‘I've been seeing Sarah-Jane for over four years and can't speak highly enough about her approach to therapy. She provides a balance of deep introspection, thoughtful advice, and grounding techniques that help me to understand myself, my actions, and my past.

    I feel that I am now more able to reflect on my past experiences in challenging yet rewarding ways, and can integrate this new knowledge into my everyday life. With her help, I have grown an immense amount and discovered successful ways to take care of myself and my well-being’.
