Fionnuala Carr

As an accredited play therapist, I specialise in working with children to help them express and process their emotions through play. I’ve completed the Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma in Therapeutic Play in NUI Galway, and I’m committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for children to grow and thrive.

*My Approach*

My approach to play therapy is child-centered and non-directive, focusing on creating a warm and empathetic relationship with each child. I believe that every child is unique and deserving of respect, and I work to understand their individual needs and experiences.

*My Training*

I’ve received training from NUI Galway with the Academy of Play and Child Psychotherapy (APAC), a renowned organisation in play therapy education. My certification is recognised by Play Therapy International and Play Therapy UK, ensuring that I meet the highest standards of play therapy practice.

*Experience and Expertise*
Through my experience working with children of various ages and backgrounds, I’ve developed a range of skills to support their emotional and psychological well-being. I’m passionate about helping children overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. I am a School Completion Coordinator in Dublin 11 for Tuslas Education Support Service TESS and have worked in School Refusal, Educational Disadvantage and School Anxiety for 25 years.

*Professional Memberships*

I’m a member of Play Therapy Ireland (PTIrl), which demonstrates my commitment to staying updated on best practices and research in play therapy. I’m also a member of IACP. I am currently studying an MSc in Pluralist Psychotherapy.

If you’re looking for a supportive and experienced play therapist for your child, I’d be happy to discuss how I can help.
