What We Do

Meabhrú Psychotherapy offers online therapy across Ireland for LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse clients. August Raines is a queer, neurodivergent psychotherapist who brings US training and lived experience to provide thoughtful, collaborative support where your identity, culture, and neurotype are respected, not pathologised.

He works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, drawing on Existential, Trauma-Informed, ACT, Gestalt, and Relational-Cultural approaches to tailor each session to the person in front of him.

Sessions are telehealth, private pay, with sliding scale available. Book a free 15-minute consultation to get started.
