At D3 Counselling & Psychotherapy, we provide a warm, compassionate, and developmentally sensitive space where children and adolescents can explore their feelings, make sense of their experiences, and build emotional resilience. We understand how overwhelming it can be as a parent or caregiver to see your child struggle, whether that's with anxiety, low mood, emotional outbursts, difficulties with friendships, school refusal, or simply feeling lost or misunderstood.
Our Dedicated Child & Adolescent Therapy Centre – Dublin 5
We are proud to offer a dedicated child and adolescent therapy centre in Dublin 5, created specifically with young people in mind. Unlike a traditional counselling room, our child-friendly space has been thoughtfully designed to help children and teenagers feel safe, comfortable, and at ease from the moment they arrive.
The centre provides a welcoming environment with age-appropriate therapeutic resources, including toys, creative materials, sandtray equipment, and space for play-based and expressive therapies. Having a dedicated setting allows children to engage naturally in therapy, making it easier for them to communicate feelings, process difficult experiences, and develop healthy coping skills.
Our therapists work with children from the age of six through adolescence and into early adulthood. We welcome young people who may be navigating neurodivergence, including ADHD or autism (diagnosed or self-identified), as well as those experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, family separation, emotional regulation difficulties, friendship challenges, trauma, or other life stresses.
Every child is unique, so we tailor our approach to meet their individual needs. Depending on the young person's age, personality, and presenting concerns, therapy may include play therapy, creative and expressive arts, sandtray work, embodiment practices, and evidence-based cognitive behavioural techniques. These approaches allow children and adolescents to express themselves in ways that feel natural, particularly when finding the right words can be difficult.
Our therapists have specialist training in child and adolescent development, attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, and neuro-affirming approaches. We understand how early experiences and relationships shape emotional wellbeing, and we work collaboratively with parents and caregivers wherever appropriate. Alongside supporting your child in therapy, we can offer guidance and practical strategies to help you support them at home, while always ensuring the young person's voice remains at the heart of the therapeutic process.
Whether your child is facing a specific challenge or simply needs a safe space to talk, our dedicated Dublin 5 centre offers a nurturing environment where they can build confidence, develop resilience, and move towards greater emotional wellbeing.
