I received lovely feedback from a parent last week ✨

Therapy plays a big role in child development such as building confidence, resilience, and emotional regulation. In this case, a lot of trust was placed on me, and they put in the hard work coming every week and bringing consistency which is super important in therapy.

I just got a message to say this child did a full day of school on his own today. When a few months ago they weren’t able to go at all. Overall, happier, more confident and their little personality is coming through! Just WOW!

What a privilege to witness and to provide a special safe space to grow 💫

🐾 Ted the Therapy Dog 🐾

This week, our therapy room had a very special visitor — my dog, Teddy 🐶 One of the children I work with always asked how Ted was doing, so with permission, Ted came along to meet him in person.

They played, laughed, and even explored emotions together through our Inside Out toys — imagining how Ted might feel in different situations. It was a beautiful, gentle way to talk about feelings, and the bond they formed was heartwarming.

There was lots of laughter and cuddles and to be honest it was one of the most memorable moments in my career 🥹 The child left with more confidence, a big smile, and plenty of Ted stories to share at home. Sometimes, the smallest moments create the biggest connections. 💛 It only takes one good adult to make a huge impact on a child’s life but maybe it only takes one good dog 👀😂

And as always, many thanks to the parents who trust me to provide a safe space for their child 💛

Happy Friday!

Child & Adolescent Therapy Appointments Available 💫

At Dramatherapy Ireland, we offer a creative and supportive space for children and adolescents to explore their emotions, build resilience, and develop coping skills through the power of creative arts therapy.

Using drama, storytelling, movement, and play, we help young people express themselves in ways that words alone may not allow.

Benefits of Creative Arts Therapy for Children & Adolescents:
🎭 Encourages self-expression in a safe and supportive environment
💡 Helps build emotional resilience and problem-solving skills
❤️ Reduces anxiety, stress, and improves emotional well-being
🗣️ Enhances communication, social skills, and self-awareness
🌟 Boosts confidence and self-esteem during key developmental stages

Adolescence can be a challenging time, and creative arts therapy provides a non-judgmental space to process emotions, navigate changes, and gain a deeper understanding of oneself.

If you’re looking for a therapeutic approach tailored to your child or teen’s unique needs, we’d love to help. Appointments now available!

I was delighted to be invited to the Ball on Friday night, an incredible evening dedicated to fundraising and raising awareness for this wonderful cause.

Words cannot express how honoured I am to work alongside this charity. The support, care, and space they provide for bereaved children and families is truly beyond what I could have imagined. Grief is a journey no one should walk alone, and the Stephen Moylan Foundation ensures that those who have lost a parent have the support they need to navigate such a difficult time.

Part 1: Anxiety Tips for Parents and Caregivers 💫

Anxiety in children is more common than we think, but with the right support, they can thrive. Here are some tips to help your little one manage their feelings:

1️⃣ Listen Attentively
Give your child your full attention when they share their worries. Put down your phone, make eye contact, and let them know you’re there for them. Sometimes, just being heard can make a world of difference.

2️⃣ Acknowledge Their Feelings
Say things like, “I see you’re feeling scared” or “It sounds like you’re worried about tomorrow.” Naming their emotions helps them feel understood and teaches them to express themselves.

3️⃣ Reassure Them Their Feelings Are Valid
No matter how small or irrational their fears may seem, remind them it’s okay to feel that way. “It’s normal to feel nervous about starting something new, and I’m here to help you through it.”

4️⃣ Do Not Dismiss Their Emotions
Avoid phrases like “It’s not a big deal” or “You’ll get over it.” Every emotion matters, whether it’s over a test or a scraped knee. Validation builds trust and emotional resilience.

I had lovely feedback from a parent this week 💫 Forever grateful to be able to hold a safe space for teenagers as it can be a tricky time for them especially for those transitioning from primary to secondary 🌟

Parent Feedback -

From the start, our 14 year old son with autism and a mild intellectual disability felt comfortable with Ciara.
She took time to get to know him and worked with him in a gentle and caring way. Our son came away always feeling more confident and less anxious.

We have seen really good progress in our son in terms of his social and communication skills and his confidence starting secondary school which he previously had been very worried about.

We highly recommend Ciara as she has made a real positive difference in our son’s life and we are very grateful for that.
