Play Therapy Ireland

Accessing a Play Therapist or Practioner of Therapeutic Play

There are two main ways of accessing a play therapist or a practitioner of therapeutic play:  Using an independent  play therapist or practitioner (to whom you will have to pay a fee) or  a therapist whose services are fully or partly funded by a local authority children's,  education, social, or health services, a charity or some other agency. Consult a doctor if the child has a severe mental health problem.

1. Check the location of your nearest PTIrl member from the list below - then email ptireland@aol.com
