Róisín Whelan 

Counsellor & Psychotherapist

Established in 2014 by Róisin Whelan, Mindworthy Counselling & Psychotherapy Clinic offers clients a safe and confidential space to talk and help you cope with whatever life throws at you. When we feel sad, depressed, angry, anxious or just out of sorts, it can be difficult for us to focus on anything else and for some of us, we don't always know what to do, where to go or where to start. At Mindworthy, we know therapy can be daunting, but we believe that taking the first step can end up being the biggest step of your life. With us you have the space to tell your story in a safe, supportive and confidential environment.

About Róisín 


I consider myself an eclectic psychotherapist incorporating ideas and methods from several therapeutic approaches. My style is casual and approachable, I meet you exactly where you are, and craft a good balance between holding space for you and also holding you accountable. I will help you explore and identify solutions that fit your life and goals. Regardless of training, qualifications or letters after your name, I really believe that connecting with your therapist is essential. You know yourself, for any relationship to work there has to be a good vibe between people. 

While I spend most of my days seeing clients one-to-one, I also gives talks, lectures and workshops on self-care, compassion fatigue and burnout. I had the privilege of running Ireland's first support group for those diagnosed with Head, Neck and Mouth Cancers and I am currently on the committee for Mouth Cancer Awareness Day (MCAD). I often give talks on patients' experiences of cancer and have guest lectured on patient care to students in all types of medical professions. 

My work as a therapist has been shaped by my own life experiences. Like you, I have experienced the pain, struggles and difficulties of life. I still do. Life is messy, complicated and sometimes very unfair.  I started 'Mindworthy' to support people and show them that they do have control of their lives. No matter what you have been through, everyone deserves the chance to live a better, happier and more fulfilled life.

Therapy Sessions & Fees 


In-person therapy  / Online therapy sessions €80

Weekly or fortnightly sessions face to face in my private clinic. Appointments typically last 50 minutes and are scheduled weekly at a consistent time. 

Online therapy is a new convenient and flexible way to communicate, and doesn't require that you leave the comforts of your home or office. Just like in-person sessions. Weekly or fortnightly sessions. 

I offer a small number of spaces to those on a low income. Get in touch to see if I have availability. If not, I can put you on the waiting list.

Insurance cover

The majority of health insurance companies will cover some (if not all) of your mental health consultations. The level of cover will depend on the policy you have. Receipts are available after each session.
