I’m a qualified art psychotherapist registered with the IACP, specialising in trauma. My work in crisis settings, capital defence, re-entry services, and Trust & Safety teams has shown me how deeply trauma can shape a person’s emotions, body, and relationships. In therapy, my focus is to create a space where you don’t have to relive what happened in order to heal from it. Art therapy is a key part of this process, because it allows you to externalise what feels overwhelming and approach it with more distance and safety than words alone often provide.

Hello. I am James Foley the provider of counselling at Prevail, a professional therapy service for the west of Dublin. I am keen to help those with emotional hurt and negative behaviours in my locality. After nearly 30 years of caring for the emotionally broken I now want to provide my services for those in my own locality. I do not discriminate working with a client based on their presentation. I adapt to the clients needs and personality in providing the service that suit them best. The relationship between the client and counsellor is what matters most in bringing about positive change, and empathic listening is key to this.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just not yourself lately? Maybe you’re grieving. Maybe you’re stuck in stress or burnout. Or maybe you can’t explain it - only that something feels off. Therapy gives you time and space to look at what’s happening beneath the surface. We’ll talk through what you’re feeling, where it might be coming from, and what could help things shift. Whether you have a clear goal or just a sense that something needs to change, this is a place to start unpacking it - at your pace, in your own way.
