Dr Sinead Lynch

Dr Sinead Lynch is a Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist working in Psycho Oncology at the Mater Hospital since 2021. She is a core part of the team responsible for developing Psycho Oncology in the Mater Hospital since 2021 following the NCCP Model of Care, and brings over 15 years cancer care experience with her.

Sinead’s passion for cancer care is evident in her work such as the development of ‘COMFORT’ – a Randomised Control Trial funded by the Irish Cancer Society which successfully showed a reduction in distress in cancer patients following a 6-week online programme which was co-designed by cancer patients for cancer patients.

In a previous life, Sinead was a TV Producer in RTE and in 2016 she produced a documentary that followed cancer patients as they walked mindfully on the Camino De Santiago called ‘The Walk Of Life’. Sinead continues to advocate for the mental and emotional needs of cancer patients by volunteering with many organisations such as the Marie Keating Foundation and contributing to podcast and mainstream media.
