Online therapy in Dublin

A therapist in Dublin, without the commute

Choose your own therapist, meet online, and pick a time that works around your job rather than through it.

Dublin has no shortage of therapists. It has a shortage of appointments you can realistically get to, on a Tuesday, across the city, in the middle of a working day.

Why it matters here

Why online, in a city with this many therapists

Dublin is not short of therapists. It is short of appointments you can actually get to. A room in Ranelagh at two in the afternoon is not a real option for someone working in the docklands, and the public waiting lists are what they are.

Online removes the geography. The hour you spend is the hour of the session, not the hour plus the Luas plus finding parking. That difference is what makes weekly attendance survivable over months rather than weeks.

About Wefeel

What Wefeel is — and what it isn't

Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.

We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.

Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.

What we work with

What brings people here

  • Anxiety and constant low-level dread

    The worry that doesn't attach itself to anything in particular, and doesn't switch off when the day ends.

  • Depression and flatness

    Including the kind that is hard to justify, because on paper nothing is wrong.

  • Burnout and exhaustion

    When the job stopped being difficult and started being impossible, and you kept going anyway.

  • Grief

    After a death — but also after a marriage, a career, a friendship, or a version of yourself.

  • Relationships and family

    Including the arguments that are never really about what they appear to be about.

  • Loneliness

    You can be lonely in the town you grew up in, surrounded by people who have known you for thirty years.

This is not a complete list. If what you're carrying isn't on it, that changes nothing — therapy starts with you, not with a label.

How it works

Three steps, no paperwork

You read the profiles and choose the therapist yourself — nobody is assigned to you, and you are allowed to be particular, because this is a relationship rather than a service. You then pick a time from the hours they have open, shown in your own time zone, evenings and early mornings included. Finally you meet by video call, from wherever you happen to be. There is no referral to arrange and no waiting list to join.

The first step is smaller than it looks

You don't have to know what's wrong, or be able to describe it, or have a good enough reason. You only have to pick someone and turn up.

Common questions

Are the therapists based in Dublin?

Some are, some aren't. Sessions are online, so what matters is whether the person is right for you and qualified to work with you — not the distance between your two postcodes.

Can I have a session during my lunch break?

Yes, if a therapist has that hour open. You'll see their available times before you commit to anything.

What do I need for an online session?

A phone or laptop, a stable connection, and somewhere you won't be overheard. That last one is the part people underestimate.

Start when you're ready

Read the profiles, take your time, and choose someone yourself. There's no referral to arrange, no list to join, and nobody deciding on your behalf.
