Fettle has been amazing to work with. Professional, supportive, and genuinely focused on helping people. The team is responsive, caring and consistently goes above and beyond. Highly recommended.

Andrew ByrneGoogle

I found the whole booking process really quick and straightforward, and the platform itself is very easy to use. Any questions I had were answered quickly, and everyone I dealt with was genuinely helpful. The therapists have all been excellent.

Keith DooleyGoogle

Quick to book, easy to use, and really good therapists. Everything about this platform feels well-run and supportive. Love that it's all Irish-based and focuses on proper accredited therapy. Five stars.

Kieran HughesGoogle

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Fettle. From the very first session, I felt supported and heard. The platform is user-friendly, and my therapist has been wonderful, empathetic, skilled, and genuinely invested in my progress.

Keith O MahonyGoogle

Without Fettle I'd have never had access to the therapist I meet with due to our locations. I was matched with Rebecca Lock. She is an incredible therapist who has helped me time and time again.

John PerryGoogle

Very positive experience. Was very handy to be able to do from home.

L MorleyGoogle

My Fettle counsellor Ken was open and non-judgemental. He allowed me to set the agenda and flow of communication. I gained insight on my issues and feel empowered to overcome them.

Bronagh ClearyGoogle

Excellent service, would recommend.

Emma MacCarthyGoogle

I've been using Fettle on and off now for 2 years. Thankfully Fettle paired me up with an excellent therapist based on the issues I said I would like to discuss and I've come a long way since then. I would recommend Fettle as they genuinely do their best to ensure people are matched with the right therapist.

Why Get an Anxiety Assessment?

An anxiety assessment is more than identifying a condition — it's about understanding what your nervous system is actually doing, naming the pattern, and finding the most effective way to settle it. With a clear diagnosis, evidence-based therapy becomes targeted and effective.

Quiet the constant alarm

Get clear clinical language for what your body and mind are doing, so racing thoughts and physical symptoms stop feeling unexplained or out of your control.

Break the avoidance cycle

A formal assessment unlocks CBT and exposure-based therapy — the protocols with the strongest evidence base for anxiety, effective for the majority of people who complete a course.

Get back to what you've been avoiding

Anxiety quietly shrinks your world — work, social, places, plans. The right plan steadily expands it again, in a way that's evidence-based and individual to you.

Do you know the research?

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health conditions worldwide, yet up to 80% of people respond well to CBT and exposure-based therapy when matched to the right type of anxiety.

After Your Assessment

A clear next step — not more confusion.

Depending on what's clinically indicated, your clinical psychologist will guide you toward one of these pathways.

Full clinical assessment

If a formal diagnosis is needed for your GP, workplace, or education provider — your clinical psychologist will refer you for an in-depth diagnostic interview with written report.

Specialist therapy match

Matched to a Fettle clinician within 24–72 hours. CBT and ERP for OCD with Janet Homan, MSc. Specialist anxiety and depression therapists for those pathways.

GP & workplace letters

Where appropriate, you'll receive diagnostic letters suitable for accommodations, sick leave, education provider, or insurance reimbursement claims.

Onward referral

Where another service is the better fit — psychiatry, neuropsychology, primary care — we signpost clearly. No gate-keeping, no upselling.

Covered by leading Irish health insurers

VHI Healthcare Laya Healthcare Irish Life Health

The full anxiety assessment may be partially claimable through VHI, Laya, or Irish Life Health as an outpatient psychologist benefit, depending on your plan. Your clinician's receipt can be submitted for pay-and-claim reimbursement. Check your Table of Benefits or call your insurer before booking to confirm your per-session benefit amount.

Common Questions

Things people often ask.

GPs are excellent generalists, but they typically have 10–15 minutes and don't use validated psychological screening tools. This consultation is 30 minutes with a specialist clinical psychologist using a validated instrument (GAD-7, PHQ-9, or other validated screeners) — designed specifically to identify and quantify the condition you're concerned about.

Not from stage one. The 30-minute consultation is a clinical screening review — your psychologist will tell you whether your presentation warrants a formal diagnostic assessment (stage two) and explain your options. A formal diagnosis requires the full clinical assessment.

The €89 consultation is paid privately. The full clinical assessment (stage 2) and ongoing therapy (stage 3) may be partially claimable through VHI, Laya, or Irish Life Health under your outpatient psychology benefit, depending on your plan. We provide all documentation needed for pay-and-claim reimbursement.

Yes. Klarna is available at checkout on all stages — split any payment into three equal instalments at no extra cost, with no interest. The first instalment is taken at booking, then the remaining two over the following 60 days. Eligibility is decided by Klarna at checkout based on a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score.

Yes. All consultations and screening data are confidential, GDPR-compliant, and never shared without your explicit consent. We follow Irish health record retention rules and PSI ethical guidelines for clinical psychologists. Standard limits to confidentiality (risk of serious harm to self or others) apply, as with any clinician.

No. You can book the consultation directly. If a formal diagnosis is recommended, the assessment letter we provide can be shared with your GP if you choose.
