Why is therapy so expensive in Ireland?

The cost of therapy in Ireland reflects:
. Specialized training and ongoing professional development,
. Restricted client volume (for quality and sustainability),
. Significant overheads and professional costs,
. High demand with fewer subsidised public options,
. Regulatory and tax implications.
While the price can feel steep, these factors help explain why therapy often costs what it does and why it’s still considered a valuable professional service.
