Online counselling and therapy in Ireland

If you are elsewhere in Ireland, cannot easily travel to Dublin, or prefer to begin online, see online counselling, online therapy and online psychotherapy in Ireland. The page explains suitability, privacy, technology, fees, emergency boundaries and how to find online counselling safely.

Choosing a route in Ireland

Therapy and counselling in Ireland are not one route for everyone. What is helpful depends on where you are, what you want support with, and whether online work is clinically and practically suitable. If you are in Dublin, or if online sessions may fit your situation, the Dublin and online therapy page is the best starting point for appointments, fees, contact, and suitability. If one concern is central, the anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, grief, and couples counselling pages give more focused routes. If you are unsure whether a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, psychologist, or counsellor is the right term, the professional titles guide explains the differences in an Ireland-aware way.

Contacting safely and privately

You are welcome to make a brief practical enquiry about therapy, counselling, appointments, fees, or availability. Please keep first contact brief and practical. Do not send detailed clinical histories, medication lists, private documents, identifying details about other people, or urgent safety information through public comments, ordinary website routes, or ordinary email.

If confidential information or documents are needed, please ask first so a more appropriate private channel can be arranged. This protects you and reduces the risk that sensitive information is sent through the wrong route or appears on the website.

Online appointments may be suitable for some situations, but not all. Suitability depends on clinical need, risk, privacy, technology, location, and access to local emergency support. If you are outside Ireland, local law, professional rules, emergency arrangements, and available supports may affect what can be offered.

This website is not an emergency or crisis service and messages may not be read immediately. If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call 112 or 999 in Ireland, go to the nearest Emergency Department, or use your local emergency number outside Ireland. You can also see HSE urgent mental health guidance and the Mental Health Commission urgent help page.

Reading this page, sending a message, or booking an appointment through the website does not by itself create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or counsellor-client relationship. A professional relationship begins only after it has been expressly agreed and the necessary clinical, consent, privacy, suitability, and practical arrangements have been made. See the full disclaimer and privacy policy.
