therapy for the irish community
We work mainly with the Irish community and anyone who is entitled to Irish citizenship. This includes people who were born in Ireland and now live in Britain. It also includes people of Irish heritage who live in Britain.

Therapy for the Irish community is subsidised by financial support from the Irish government. We do work with people from other communities but because we are not funded to do so, we cannot provide a low cost service and need to charge the current market rate.
