Ms Clair Breen

Registered Counselor

“An accredited, qualified, psyotherapist working with adults, adolescents & children. I strive to provide a warm safe environment.”

About Me

As an accredited psychotherapist, I cultivate a warm, safe environment for adults, adolescents, and children. My aim is for our sessions to be a place where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. Here, all parts of you are welcome. We can meet challenges with curiosity, not judgment. This approach helps individuals of all ages feel truly heard and understood, supporting you to find clarity and a path forward.

Approach

In sessions I attend closely to pace and safety, shaping each meeting to your age, needs and readiness. In my Dublin consulting room, and during agreed follow-ups, we use straightforward English and practical tools you can try between meetings. I blend gentle curiosity with clear structure—brief check-ins, space for memories or play, and psychoeducation where helpful—to unpack grief, anxiety or trauma together. People seeking steady, collaborative support tend to find this way of working helpful.
