Why Choose Us?
“Answering the Call of the Heart”
The Centre was founded in 2016 by Clinical Director Margot Ussher. The original
location was a log cabin in the back garden for the first 5 years, then in 2021 we
moved to our present day home in the heart of Blessington in West Wicklow. We
offer our mental health services and supports to adults, teenagers, children and
couples throughout Wicklow, Kildare and Dublin.
Our motto is the same today as it
was all those years ago. “Answering the Call of the Heart.” We offer a wide range of
psychotherapy services which are tailored to every client and their unique needs and
set in a very non clinical, easy and comfortable setting.
All of our psychotherapists and counsellors are trauma informed and have completed
the full psychotherapy training and completed counselling hours according to the
guidelines of then accrediting bodies IACP or IAHIP. Our trainee counsellors offer
affordable counselling to clients as low cost counselling as they complete their
clinical placement here as part of their training.
So, whether you are an adult figuring out the complexities of life, struggling with
depression or anxiety and overwhelm, self-esteem issues or maybe body dysphoria,
we are here to help. Adult counselling and psychotherapy offers the best support.
If you are a parent with a child or teenager who cannot attend school because of
anxiousness we have supports for both parent and child. We offer counselling for the
child with our neurodiverse specialist or play therapist and guidance for the parents.
If you are a couple who need guidance working through challenges, our couples
counsellor holds space for the couple to help with figuring out how to navigate the
areas that are causing ruptures in the relationship.
We have all the supports you need right under one roof.
The Healers' Dance Mental Health and Well Being Centre was founded in 2017 by Margot Ussher. Located in the centre of Blessington County Wicklow.
We are passionate about supporting people to live a life where they are content, happy, real, empowered and authentic in their everyday life.
The Healers' Dance FAQs
What happens during your first therapy session?
Your first session is an opportunity to slow down, feel heard and share what's bringing you to therapy. There is no pressure, simply begin where you are, at your own pace.
How often will I need to attend therapy?
We'll explore what feels right for you! Sessions often start weekly and then we'll adjust to your needs as things evolve.
What if I don't know what to talk about?
That's completely okay, you don't need to arrive with the right words or know exactly what you'd like to say. Together, you'll explore with your therapist what's troubling you and how we can offer support, always at your own pace.
Are your services accessible for people with disabilities or additional needs?
Absolutely! We're committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels comfortable. We always encourage clients to let us know if they have any disabilities or special needs so we can help you feel safe and at ease.
Is everything I say in therapy confidential?
Yes. What you share with your therapist is treated with care, respect and confidentiality. From the beginning we will explain how confidentiality works and which circumstances where information may need to be shared to help keep yourself or someone else safe.
