New Workshop Series: Compassionate Parenting for Teens & Young Adults.

So many parents in our community have asked for guidance, not just for their young people, but for themselves. That’s why we’re launching a practical, down-to-earth workshop series designed to support you.

Together, we’ll explore:
✨ Stress management tools you can actually use day-to-day
✨ Navigating school + academic pressures
✨ Phone and social media use (without constant battles)
✨ Understanding your own parenting style & triggers
✨ Building your own reservoir of compassion so you can show up with patience and clarity

Working on yourself, your needs, your habits, your self-care creates the foundation for helping your young person thrive.

Details coming soon! Stay tuned.

Small steps, big wins 🙌

One of our clients (22, autistic, experiencing social anxiety) had never taken public transport on her own before. The thought of it felt overwhelming: the noise, the people, the unknowns.

Over several months in OT, we broke down her goal into achievable, graded steps:
🔹 Looking up bus routes online
🔹 Practicing anxiety management strategies
🔹 Testing out different noise-cancelling headphones
🔹 Walking to the bus stop and watching others get on
🔹Visualising the inside of the bus
🔹Applying for the free travel scheme
🔹Learning how to tap on and off
🔹Getting on and getting off at the next stop
🔹 Building confidence step by step

Today, she proudly took the bus home on her own after our session!

Moments like these remind us that independence doesn’t happen all at once, it’s built one step at a time.

We just had the pleasure of running a series of workshops with in Crumlin, supporting 14 amazing young men and women to build skills in time management, organisation, and routine planning ✨

The Ability Programme provided each participant with whiteboards, timers, fidget tools, and journals to help put our learnings into practice. How great is that!

We had so many valuable discussions around stress management strategies, and how low mood and anxiety can make it really difficult to stay organised and keep consistent routines.

So inspired by the openness, insight, and engagement from everyone who took part 💡👏

The talk explored:
💫 how climate change is an environmental issue but also a growing mental health concern, particularly for women.
💫how climate related anxiety, solastalgia, and caregiving responsibilities are impacting women’s wellbeing.

Supporting someone to foster and nurture self worth that enables them to feel “proud” is just gold🙌

About Anchor Therapy

Anchor Therapy is a mobile, community-based Mental Health service in Ireland focusing on improving the well-being and quality of life of teenagers, young people and adults. Anchor Therapy was founded by Michelle Murray who is Mental Health Occupational Therapist living in Dublin.

Mission:

Our mission is to increase options for people wishing to access best practice health care. While traditional models of clinic-based treatments are highly effective for some, they are not always suitable for everyone. At Anchor Therapy, you have the choice. You can come to a room in Ballsbridge, or our OT can bring evidence-based and person-centred health treatments to you in your place of work, at home, in school or in other any other context that lends itself to benefiting you.

Vision:
