Welcome to Inside Out Therapy
Learn a bit about what we do
Inside Out Therapy
Inside Out Therapy is a child and adolescent therapy service based in Limerick, dedicated to supporting children, young people and their families through life's challenges.
We work with children experiencing a wide range of emotional, social and behavioural difficulties, providing a warm, welcoming and supportive space where every child feels understood, accepted and valued.
We have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent children, including those with autism and ADHD. We recognise that every child experiences the world differently, and we tailor our therapeutic approach to suit their individual strengths, needs and ways of communicating.
At Inside Out Therapy, we believe that therapy should be a positive and meaningful experience, helping children build confidence, develop important life skills and reach their full potential.

Helping Children and
Young People
At Inside Out Therapy, we believe that every child is unique, and their therapy should reflect that. There is no single approach that works for everyone, which is why we take a flexible, personalised approach to supporting children and young people.
Our work combines behavioural psychology with a range of psychotherapy and play-based approaches. This is known as pluralistic therapy, which simply means drawing on different therapeutic methods to find what works best for each individual child.
We work collaboratively with children, young people and their families to understand their needs, recognise their strengths and set meaningful goals. Our approach is practical, supportive and guided by what matters most to each child.
We use a range of evidence-based approaches, including behavioural therapy, psychotherapy, play-based interventions and mindfulness. For younger children in particular, play can be a wonderful way to express feelings, explore experiences, develop new skills and build confidence in a safe and enjoyable environment.
Above all, we aim to make therapy a positive, engaging and empowering experience, helping children develop the confidence, skills and understanding they need to navigate life's challenges..
Behavioural Assessments
At Inside Out Therapy, we offer individualised behaviour assessments to help us better understand children's needs and the challenges they may be experiencing.
While behaviour assessments are often associated with autism, they can be helpful for any child experiencing difficulties with behaviour, learning, friendships or managing their emotions.
Our assessments explore why certain behaviours happen, what might be contributing to them and how they may be affecting a child's everyday life. We recognise that behaviour often communicates something important, and understanding what lies behind it is an essential part of helping children move forward.
We take a flexible, child-centred approach, ensuring that assessments are carried out in a way that feels comfortable, positive and meaningful for each child.
Parents, teachers and, most importantly, the children themselves all have valuable insights to share. By bringing these perspectives together, we develop a clearer understanding of each child's strengths, needs and challenges.
The information gathered helps us identify meaningful goals and develop a personalised therapy programme focused on building confidence, developing new skills and supporting positive, lasting change.
