Find a Therapist in Ireland

Ireland has 201 therapists listed on TherapyRoute.

The list includes psychotherapists, counsellors and psychologists.

Each city below carries its own list.

Each practice in Ireland sets its own therapy fees. If the fee is beyond your means, ask whether the practitioner offers a sliding scale based on income. Public mental health care in Ireland starts with your GP.

Only a GP or another health professional can refer you to a community mental health team. Ask your GP about free talk therapy as well.

Medical registration is the check that works today, because a psychiatrist is a doctor. For a psychologist, counsellor or psychotherapist there is no statutory register to check yet. CORU, Ireland's health and social care regulator, has registration boards for those professions, but their registers have not opened, so the titles are not yet reserved by law.

Ask which professional body the person belongs to and check that membership directly: the Psychological Society of Ireland, the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or the Irish Council for Psychotherapy.

Membership of those bodies is voluntary, not a legal requirement. You can check a doctor on the Medical Council of Ireland register, and search the CORU register for the professions it already covers.
