Who we are
Hi there!A warm welcome to Therapy Haven.
First, to put your mind at rest and answer the question we hope everyone seeking professional support is asking: we are qualified child, adolescent, and adult psychotherapists, and fully accredited through the IACP, Ireland’s largest and most reputable counselling association.
Serving north Kildare, south Dublin, and online across Ireland, we specialise in individual counselling and parent support, with a particular interest and training in anxiety, trauma, and neurodiversity.
Working from a person-centred and polyvagal-informed perspective, we work collaboratively with adults and teens, at the client’s pace and towards their goals. With younger children, we use therapeutic play, art, sand therapy, storytelling, and many other creative interventions to help them understand their big feelings and develop helpful ways of managing and responding to them.
We provide a warm, non-judgemental space for you or your child to explore any difficulties and challenges preventing you from enjoying life. During this discovery process, we work together to expand your awareness of your internal world. This awareness gives you choices as to how you respond to life’s challenges rather than react to them.
We draw on many psychotherapeutic theories when working with clients, but for all our clients regardless of age, it is important that at certain times the therapeutic space is fun - laughter is a great healer! If you wish to start working together or have further questions about how we work, don't hesitate to contact us by email or phone.
We use a range of tools, from CBT, attachment theory and psychodynamic therapy, to therapy.
We work in adherence with the IACP’s Code of Ethics and strive to uphold the highest standards of professional service at all times.
If you think you might be ready to make a change, give us a call on

We look forward to hearing from you.
