Real Trustpilot reviews from people who found the right therapist through Fettle.

Genuinely transformed how I operate day-to-day. Before starting with Fettle, I was very close to hitting burnout - struggling with procrastination, time management, and a frustrating lack of structure. Over the last three months, working with my therapist, Louise O'Sullivan, gave me the exact circuit breaker I needed.

I really enjoy my weekly sessions with Dylan Johnston. I have tried therapy before but this time I feel I'm getting a lot more out of it. I feel so understood and it makes life less overwhelming. It's been so great to be able to do it on my laptop at home instead of the added stress of travel.

I am so happy I decided to try fettle. Emma Keane was my therapist and I felt immediately at ease with her, she helped me a tremendous amount. Her empathy helped me navigate difficult relationships and gain a much clearer understanding of my anxiety.

Understanding Anxiety Therapy

Learn how online therapy can help you understand and manage anxiety through evidence-based approaches.

Step 1

What is anxiety?

Anxiety in Ireland is a natural response to stress that can be beneficial in certain circumstances. It can warn us about impending threats and assist us in planning. However, anxiety disorders are marked by excessive fear instead of normal emotions. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses, affecting about one-third of all adults at some point in their lives.

What can anxiety therapy help with?

Our experienced therapists can help you understand and overcome anxiety through various approaches.

You
My heart races constantly and I can't stop worrying. I don't understand what's happening to me.
Therapist
Let's explore these feelings together and help you understand what you're experiencing.

Understand Your Symptoms

Anxiety manifests differently for everyone. Common symptoms include racing heart, shortness of breath, excessive worry, difficulty sleeping, muscle tension, and feeling on edge. Understanding your symptoms is the first step to managing them.

Get Started
You
I don't know why I'm anxious. There's no clear reason but I can't shake this feeling.
Therapist
Anxiety doesn't always have an obvious trigger. Let's work together to identify what might be contributing to these feelings.

Identify Possible Causes

Possible causes of anxiety vary from person to person. Common triggers include work stress, relationship issues, trauma, genetics, sleep deprivation, or compounded stress over time. Your therapist will help you identify your unique triggers.

Get Started
You
I avoid social situations because I'm terrified of saying something stupid. Is that social anxiety?
Therapist
It sounds like it could be. Understanding exactly what type of anxiety you're experiencing helps us create the right treatment plan.

Types of Anxiety

Anxiety types include: generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, PTSD, phobias, and high-functioning anxiety. Understanding your type helps determine the best treatment approach for you.

Get Started
You
When I start panicking, I feel like I can't breathe. What can I actually do in that moment?
Therapist
Let me teach you some grounding techniques. With practice, you'll have tools ready whenever those moments hit.

Build Coping Skills

Through CBT, DBT, and ACT, your therapist will help you develop practical coping strategies. Learn breathing techniques, challenge anxious thoughts, and build resilience for lasting change.

Get Started
You
I'm exhausted from being on edge all the time. I just want to feel normal again.
Therapist
That exhaustion is real and valid. Together we'll work on finding moments of calm and gradually rebuilding your sense of peace.

Restore Calm & Control

Anxiety often robs you of peace and control. Through therapy, you'll gradually rediscover moments of calm, rebuild confidence, and restore your sense of safety. Small steps lead to meaningful progress.

Get Started
Therapist
You've made wonderful progress. How are you feeling about the techniques we've been practising?
You
So much better. I finally feel like I can manage my anxiety.

Get Ongoing Support

Recovery from anxiety is a journey, not a destination. Your therapist will provide ongoing support, help you navigate setbacks, and celebrate your wins. Research shows long-term therapy creates lasting change.
