I offer a warm and confidential setting for you to explore personal issues, find clarity and discover ways of making a change in your life. Providing a space where you are accepted and accompanied on your journey towards insight, healing and growth. As an integrative therapist, I respect the unique needs and goals of each client and adapt my approach accordingly. I endeavour to support individuals in their experiences and challenges while also helping them to recognise their resilience and true potential. I work with adults/adolescents online and face-to-face in Carlow.

Hi, my name is Ciara, and I am a certified play therapist. I believe that play is a

child’s natural language and their most powerful tool for healing, growth, and self-

discovery. As a qualified Play Therapist registered with PTUK, my passion is creating

a warm, safe, and deeply nurturing space where children can freely explore their

emotions, process big feelings, and find their own sense of inner peace.

My journey began with a strong foundation in early childhood development, earning

my degree in Early Years Education. I went on to complete my postgraduate Diploma

in Play Therapy through PTUK and spent valuable time practicing as a Play

Therapist in London. Now that I have relocated back to Ireland, I am incredibly

excited to bring my experience and my passion for early years wellness to this

wonderful community.

At the heart of my practice is a gentle, child-centred approach. By using creative,

sensory mediums like sand, puppets, art, and movement, I meet children exactly

where they are, helping them gently navigate anxiety, life transitions, and emotional

hurdles. I am delighted to bring my practice to this holistic space, offering a

sanctuary where children and their families feel truly seen, supported, and heard. I

look forward to working with you and holding space for your child's growth
