My name is Michelle, I have an MA in Child, Family and Community Studies, and am an accredited Play Therapist. I work holistically with children who experience emotional and / or behavioural problems. Play therapy offers an opportunity to allow a child to play out their feelings. Children are much more comfortable playing out a problem rather than talking about it, Play is the most natural form of communication for a child, therefore is often used in place of talking therapy for children.

I have been working in different clinical settings and with clients from multiple age groups. My experience is with adults, adolescents and children and a wide range of difficulties and diagnoses, from depression to grief, anxiety, self-harming and suicide ideation.

Young people experiencing emotional and behavioural disturbances can find it challenging to communicate or understand why they feel this way. The process of Child Art Psychotherapy can benefit in many ways as it is relational and fosters consistency and containment. The psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approach of Art Psychotherapy incorporates verbal and non-verbal communication to gain insight into the child's thoughts and beliefs systems. The focus of therapy is to understand the unconscious material that influences behaviour and emotions in order to foster change and promote healthy psychological functioning.

We are a county Wicklow based , established therapy practice who work with individuals, couples, children and teens. Our team have decades of therapy experience between them. We are professionally accredited, financially accessible and we love our work.

The last few years have brought stresses and worries to the surface for many who were coping ok before the pandemic (and all that these recent times have brought us)... Relationships have been strained, family dynamics have been stretched and tested. More and more teens and adults, young and old, have been pondering the more existential questions. Finding deeper meaning and values for continuing to live in a world with so much trouble and trauma has become more important to us. We're searching to find purpose and a sense of belonging, meaning and value. What are your deepest, truest values? Together we can discover your roadmap.
