 tara gaffney can help you

Get the right care from someone who cares

As a Counsellor & Psychotherapist I can help you to make sense of your feelings, reduce your anxiety and overwhelm or make positive changes in your life or relationships.  Together we create a safe space for you to explore your life experiences and heal from trauma and distress.  Do you need support navigating a transition either a beginning or an ending?  Do you suffer from intrusive memories, thoughts or a feeling of anxiety that has become too much to bare?   

As a Social Care Worker I can help with the behavior’s your child is engaging in? Has your once calm and loving child become angry, scared or distant? Do you have a child with additional needs and need help?

Children with or without additional needs can challenge us with how they behave sometimes. How are we supposed to know what to do when our child(ren) behave in ways that make no sense to us or which we have no experience of.

I can help you and your co-parent(s) to devise, agree or implement a plan that will make everyone in your house happier and calmer. I work directly with parent(s) either in my office, on line or in their home to figure out what is causing the difficulties and put a plan in place that will ease everyone’s distress / anxiety / fear.

Guidance and support

We do not have a waiting list and everyone is offered an appointment within 1 week of request.  

You will meet with me either in person or on-line depending on your preference.  I will introduce myself and how I work and take time to get to know you and what you are currently experiencing.  You will not be judged and you will leave feeling seen and heard.  Together we will agree a plan.  If at the end of the first session or at any time during our working relationship you don't feel that we are a 'good fit' I will support you to find an alternative counsellor or psychotherapist.  

It is best to plan for a minimum of 6 sessions but more can be arranged when required.  I commit to working with you for as long or short a time as feels appropriate for you.  There is no commitment on your part to continue attending sessions but I do ask that at least 24 hours notice is given for cancellation of a session and I weeks notice is given when bringing the working relationship to an end.

Individual Counselling & Psychotherapy sessions are for 1 hour and cost €60

Individual Behavioral Support sessions (in my Nenagh office) cost €80

Individual Behavioral Support Sessions in your own home cost €100 per hour plus travel costs.

What clients say about Tara

Annonymous May 2023

Thank you so much Tara. You really helped me to feel at ease. I no longer feel so upset or overwhelmed.

Annonymous April 2024

Tara gave me the time and space I needed to cry the tears that I had always felt too scared to show. I felt so safe sitting in her room. She never judged anything I said, even when I changed my mind!
