Psychotherapy aims to help participants address psychological issues of immediate concern, with a wider goal of increasing long term mental wellbeing by building self-awareness, understanding and acceptance. ASD Ireland’s team of IACP qualified psychotherapists work with people on a one to one basis, primarily through talk therapy, but harnessing the creative possibilities of ASD Ireland’s space as appropriate.
Person Centred Therapy can help you discover solutions through compassionate and non-judgemental listening.

You will be helped to grow as a person to cope better with current problems and ones that come your way in the future.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how you think (cognitive) and how that affects what you do (Behaviour). This will help you identify thinking that may not be accurate and learn how this effects you physically and affects how you act. It can help in coping with stresses and anxieties in life and teach techniques to deal with them.
