Dave Saunders - Counselling & Psychotherapy A safe, compassionate space for counselling & psychotherapy in Dublin & Online. Welcoming all adults and adolescents seeking support for life's challenges.

Welcome. This is a safe and compassionate space for therapy in Dublin and online. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, understand your needs, and begin to create meaningful, lasting change. As a humanistic and integrative therapist, I work collaboratively with you, at your pace. Our work together is a partnership focused on your personal growth and well-being. While my practice is open to all adults and adolescents, I have a strong focus on men's mental health and the emotional challenges of fatherhood. My personal and professional experience in this area led me to found From Lads to Dads, a support service for new and expectant fathers. My experience involves supporting individuals through a wide range of life's challenges, including:
●Trauma and PTSD
●Anxiety and Depression
●Grief and Loss
●Stress and Anger Management
●Neurodivergence (ADHD & Dyslexia)
●Relationship Difficulties

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t need to have everything figured out. If you're ready to take that first brave step, I'm here to support you on your journey.

Upadte on my journey as a psychotherapist working with perenatal mental health in fathers

06/08/2026

Join us this Saturday for a relaxed meet-up for expectant and new dads.
Becoming a dad is an incredible journey, but it can also feel isolating at times. That's why we've created these monthly meet-ups – to give dads the chance to connect with others who are going through the same stage of life, build friendships, share experiences, and realise they're not alone.
This Saturday we'll enjoy a gentle walk around the visitor centre, followed by some time at the playground for the little ones and a coffee afterwards where we can relax, chat, and get to know each other. If you're expecting your first baby, you're just as welcome as dads already in the thick of parenthood.
📍 Meeting point: Bus stop at the Visitor Centre
🕤 Time: 9:30am
🚗 Free parking available
Whether you come on your own or with your little one, you'll be made very welcome. It's informal, friendly, and a great opportunity to meet other local dads and start building your support network.
