Our Therapists

The psychotherapists in Genesis have qualified in systemic family therapy, individual psychotherapy or child/play therapy. Some of our therapists are completing the final stage of their clinical training under supervision. The service operates in compliance with the Code of Ethics and training standards of The Family Therapy Association of Ireland (FTAI), The Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP), The Irish Association for Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP), The Irish Council for Psychotherapy and The European Association of Psychotherapy, assuring you of the highest professional standards of confidentiality and practice.
