Online therapy in Galway

A therapist in Galway, on your schedule

Choose your therapist, meet online from home, and start without joining a waiting list.

When the nearest appointment is forty minutes each way, weekly therapy quietly becomes a two-hour commitment — and the first difficult week is the one you cancel.

Why it matters here

A small city, a large county

Galway city has therapists. Connemara does not, and neither do most of the places people in this county actually live. When the nearest appointment is forty minutes each way, weekly therapy becomes a two-hour commitment, and the first bad week is the one you cancel.

Online, the session is the session. Nothing else has to fit around it. That sounds like a small thing until you have tried to keep going for six months.

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 hardest session is the one you haven't booked

Nearly everyone finds the first conversation easier than the week of dread that preceded it.

Common questions

Is the therapist based in Galway?

Possibly not, and for an online session it doesn't need to be. What their profile tells you — how they work, what they work with — matters more than where they sit.

Can I switch therapists if it isn't working?

Yes, at any point, without explaining yourself. Fit is not something either of you can guarantee in advance.

Do I need to be in Ireland?

No. People move, and therapy can move with them. Your therapist's profile shows where they're qualified to practise.

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.
