HSE St John of God CBT Therapist Dublin

HSE St John of God CBT Therapist Dublin provides expert care to individuals facing anxiety, depression, and related mental health challenges. Based in Stillorgan, Dublin, we specialise in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) that is grounded in proven clinical methods. Every client is treated with empathy, respect, and clear strategies that promote long-term mental wellness.

We offer personalised support that starts with a complete mental health check-up. From there, we work together to create a plan that suits your needs. Our CBT therapists focus on short-term, goal-based treatment. However, longer-term support is also available when necessary. At every stage, we aim to make therapy effective and practical for your everyday life.

What is CBT and How Does It Help?

CBT stands for cognitive behavioural therapy. It helps people understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. Through guided sessions, you learn how to break unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier habits. Instead of avoiding issues, CBT teaches you to face them with tools that improve how you think and feel.

We offer CBT in one-on-one sessions or group formats. Sessions may include exercises in mindfulness, worry management, and stress reduction. These skills support mental wellbeing both during and after treatment. Most clients attend weekly sessions, usually for 6 to 12 weeks.

Who Can Access Our CBT Services?

Adults of all ages can benefit from CBT at St John of God Hospital. Whether you’re referred by your GP, psychiatrist, or another service provider, you’ll receive tailored care. We support people dealing with:

• Generalised anxiety disorder

• Panic attacks

• Social anxiety

• Depression

• PTSD

• Mood disorders

• Life stress and trauma

Older adults are also welcome through our Psychiatry of Later Life service.

How Therapy Sessions Work

Your care begins with a consultation. You’ll meet a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist, depending on your needs. Weekly sessions happen at our outpatient clinic in Stillorgan. In some cases, online sessions may be available. Additional support such as workshops, group therapy, or follow-ups can also form part of your plan.

What Makes Our Approach Different?

Unlike generic therapy centres, our CBT therapists work as part of a wider, multi-disciplinary team. That means you benefit not only from CBT, but also from psychiatry, occupational therapy, and nursing input if needed. This team-based approach improves your chances of lasting progress.

We don’t just treat symptoms—we help build your long-term ability to manage thoughts and behaviour in daily life. Clients leave with tools that empower them beyond therapy.

In addition to CBT, we offer a wide range of therapy options:

• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills Groups

• Couple and Family Therapy

Every service aims to provide support in a way that is both practical and compassionate. You will never be left on your own—we guide you step by step.
