Guiding you safely through life's challenges
Welcome to NorthStar
Counselling & Psychotherapy, CBT and Play Therapy for Children, Adolescents and Adults
In the labyrinth of life's twists and turns, we all seek a guiding light— a beacon of hope and inspiration that helps us navigate the challenges that come our way. At NorthStar Counselling and Therapy Centre, we understand that everyone's journey is unique, and especially the journey from childhood to adulthood. Therefore, we're here to offer professional and caring guidance through every step of it.
Life can present myriads of difficulties—emotional storms, mental roadblocks, and personal struggles. These difficulties can be even more challeging for young people who are navigating their way through their developmental years and can sometimes leave them feeling lost and uncertain. At NorthStar, we specialise in providing Professional and Caring Counselling & Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Play Therapy tailored to meet the needs of all from age 4 - adult. Our experienced team of dedicated therapists is committed to guiding you on your way to clarity, resilience, and well-being.
Our mission at NorthStar is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where young people can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through compassionate counselling and evidence-based therapies, we empower young people to confront challenges, build resilience, and foster positive change. We welcome children, teens and adolescents to a place where their journey is valued, their challenges are acknowledged, and their transformation is nurtured. Each therapist in our team brings a unique specialisation, allowing NorthStar to offer a diverse and comprehensive array of support services enabling us to stand out as a unique child and adolescent service to the community of County Wexford and the entire Southeast region. We look after the mental health needs of adults too by supporting them through the challenges of life.
Your NorthStar Awaits... Let us be the guiding light that illuminates the way through life's challenges
