Range of services

The Child and Family Agency's Counselling/Psychotherapy funding supports a broad range of national, regional and local organisations offering counselling services. Over 250 are in receipt of funding in 2018. Funding is provided to assist voluntary organisations where there is a genuine need and demand for the services and they can be provided at a low cost to adults, couples, children, young people and families.

Community Therapy Ireland (CTI) represents many of the larger services funded. For more information, see www.communitytherapyireland.ie
