About Us
ATLAS Training is a private, transdisciplinary therapy service supporting children, adolescents and young adults with their mental health, emotional wellbeing, neurodevelopmental needs and participation in everyday life. Our experienced team provides psychology, occupational therapy and other therapeutic supports for individuals experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, school-related distress, social challenges, sensory processing differences and difficulties with independence and daily activities. We recognise that emotional wellbeing, development and occupational participation are closely connected. Our individualised, evidence-informed approach considers the whole person, their environment, relationships and meaningful activities, helping each individual build confidence, develop skills and participate more fully in everyday life.

Grandfather of Daragh, age 3
“I really wasn’t sure I believed in all this stuff after I read your report, but now that I see the change in him, I’m amazed at the difference.”
Mother of Eoghan, age 10
“I can’t believe the change in him since (he started). He is more accepting of change and doesn’t get bothered when things don’t go as he expects. He is starting to do so much more for himself.”
Derrick, age 18
“I did really badly in my junior cert and no-one thought I’d finish leaving cert, but thanks to the support I got I’m now in college and I can do anything I want to do.”
Family Centered
Your family is the centre of our service because a child/young person’s family is the centre of their life. ATLAS Training families decide how a service will be structured and set the goals for treatment.
Comprehensive Approach
A child/young person is a whole person, not a sum of different parts. Thus, we focus on the whole child/young person, including their emotional and behavioural wellbeing, their intellectual processing, communication, social skills, motor skills and academic success.
Individualised Service
Celebrating the uniqueness of each child/young person, our service is designed to meet the needs of each individual child/young person. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but our service, from beginning to end, is designed with the child/young person in mind.
Evidence Based
With the abundance of new “wonder” treatments, it is essential to us that our service offers treatment approaches that are mainstream and researched, published in independent, international journals and reviewed by experts in the field.
