Our Story- About Athlone Care Clinic

Our Passion For Helping

Being part of Athlone Care Clinic is a special venture for all our associates. Unlike any other wellbeing clinic, we care for children just as much as adults. Typical many centres/clinics don’t offer their serices to children because they require specific training and expertise. At Athlone Care Clinic we believe working with children is not only beneficial to the children we serve but also is an incredible help to their parents and care givers.

Our care team are well-established wellness service providers who concentrate on cthe holistic wellbeing of every client. We also partner with Therapy Things – a shop full of therapeutic & sensory aids & toys to help children and adults manage difficult emotions and sensory overload in neurodiverse presentations.

Born from a passion for helping people, our mission is to empower everyone to manage their own wellbeing by working with those facing mental health challenges and to improve their personal and professional development.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower everyone to manage their own wellbeing by providing comprehensive services and therapeutic items to adults and children of all ages. 

We are building a new advanced culture of wellbeing in Ireland that encorporates every member of the family. We encourrage every aspect of patient care from emotional support animels to counselling and psychotherapy. 

Our care team are encourraged to value their own lived experience as professional therapists with a view to helping those who are going through similar challenges. 

Our message is; no matter what you have been told or what has happened to you in your life, you can always become the person you have dreamed of becoming. 

What Our Clients Say

At Athlone Care Clinic we work hard to help our clients and are delights to have helped so many over the years. Here are just a couple of testimonials from some of our clients.

“This was the first time I ever came to anyone for counselling and it couldn’t have been any more different that what I expected! Siobhán was so lovely and kind both on the phone and in person. She was so relaxed and just herself all the time. I was expecting a counsellor to be staring at me all the time analizing me lol but she didn’t do any of that. She was just herself and she made me feel very relaxed right away.”

“Some years ago, I was homeless and very high risk of  suiside. I came to Siobhán after my friend had called her and it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. Siobhán was completely understanding of everything that had happened to me to bring me to this point. I never felt so much cared for and understood in my life. She gave me hope, lifted my spirits and helped me find a new direction. She saved my life. Thank you for everything.” 

“Having been to other therapists many times in my life, I didn’t hold out much hope when I contacted Siobhán. However, after just one session I knew she was different. She didn’t judge me because of my past and she helped me to see that the sexual asaults were not my fault. EMDR therapy was tough but siobhán was absolutely the best counsellor to take me through it and now I am free from the horrors of my past. She is an outstanding person and I will never forget what she has done for me.”

Once you’ve contacted us what happens then?

The frist step is we take some information over the phone. This is all highly confidential and safe. We then arrange an appointment for all new clients with their therapist. Through this we can understand how best to help you with your challenges.
