Our Adolescent Therapists

As a clinic we’re not a mish-mash of different levels of training. We all hold at least one relevant masters degree. We’re all psychotherapists, too.

Our adolescent therapists have gone a step further and each holds an additional postgraduate qualification specifically in child & adolescent psychology.

As accredited therapists, they hold memberships with the Association of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in Ireland (APPI), Irish Council of Psychotherapy (ICP), Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI), and also adheres to their Code of Ethics and Practice.

They have clinical experience in a variety of settings including the National Maternity Hospital, the Tower Probation Programme, Kilbarrack Coast Community Programme, Naas Child and Family Programme and student counselling services in third level institutions.

What to know

• Once an appointment has been scheduled, our therapist will contact you to very briefly run through the process. 
• The initial session will be held with at least one parent, or guardian, of the young person. The young person must not attend the first session.
• This session will be used to speak about parent’s concerns, family history, and also about the process itself. 
• Consent of both parents will be needed to proceed with the work.  
• Following the initial session, the young person will meet their therapist and begin the work.
• A parent is required to be present in the waiting area during all sessions for any person below the age of 16.  
• We do not provide diagnoses, reports or assessments at the clinic. We believe in working through issues rather than labelling them. 
• The cost of the first appointment is €95 and the cost afterwards can be agreed with the therapist.  
• Session length is variable, but typically would not be any longer than 50 minutes. 
• We work with children and adolescents from the age of 6 upwards.
