How Mental Health Occupational Therapy can support Young People

Being a young person has never been more challenging than it is today. We specialise in supporting young people from ages 12 to 24 who are feeling challenged by their inner or outer worlds. These challenges may include feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, or depression, struggles with self-esteem/self-worth, motivation, anger, stress, worries, or difficulties in relationships.

We offer tailored practical assistance such as:

Building confidence and reducing feelings of low self worth
Practical tools to manage day to day tasks like finances, cooking, self-care (sleep, routines, phone use), and navigating public transportation.
Practice sessions to help with social and communication skills (these can be done online or out in the community)
Development of a tool box of coping mechanisms to manage anxiety, worry and procrastination.
Study skills, and preparing for exams in school or college
Learning practical skills to manage any sensory or emotional difficulties that might be affecting your capacity to study, concentrate or feel satisfied with friendships and socialising.

“I found the course very challenging. I thought it would be so much easier. But now as I look back I realise that this is [...] the work of waking up and changing the habits of a lifetime”

"I did an 8 week MBSR/MBCT course with the Mindfulness Centre in Dublin and it was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It enabled me to communicate from my ‘heart centre’ on a consistent basis which has been a deep longing of mine."

"Rachel is an excellent teacher. The course was well paced and informative. There was lots of active learning in the group through paired work and reflection. I noticed that as the weeks went by the group seemed calmer and more at ease. We listened more and apologised less for ourselves. I learnt to embrace parts of my ADHD and I learned how to be compassionate towards myself by being affirming with others. Thank so much for this course, it has meant a lot to me to meet others and learn self compassion and mindful practice to support me from a wonderful teacher."

"I did this course because of my chronic pain condition.... is so much better...So the change for me is very different to what I expected and I am now able to enjoy my life"

"I have a much greater acceptance of myself and much more confidence to handle whatever arises"

“Rather than reducing my anxiety levels, this course taught me how to change the way I relate to anxiety… This course has turned my life around.”
