About Ian O'Neill

As a young adult I received a lot of counselling help which saved my life from becoming completely sidelined by anxiety, so my psychotherapy practice is also a way of ‘paying it forward’, I know what it’s like to be a client. Most psychotherapists also undergo psychotherapy as part of our training. I have known psychiatrists, psychologists, family doctors and psychotherapists as their psychotherapy client or patient over the years. Some I encountered as part of my training, others I sought out years before when I realized a therapist could help me. My first psychiatrist 40 years ago was deeply helpful to me, and my recollections of her open, transparent style of practicing psychotherapy has inspired me as a psychotherapist.

Personal Interests

I am unofficially my family’s archivist, in charge of a huge cache of family photos entrusted to me by my 95 yr old mother, and I am now digitizing these photos for future generations of our family. It’s a major task trying to figure out who’s who in all those photos, but so much fun! I have photos dating back as far as the 1870s. And yes, I am interested in family theory as a psychotherapist!

My great great grandfather, much younger than I am at the time of this photograph, circa 1875.

I am fascinated by the past, including the decades I remember, especially the 1960s and 70s, which I feel deeply privileged to have experienced even though the price of that experience is to now be a “little older” than many in the 2020s!
