Our Story

We met while completing our doctoral training in clinical psychology at Trinity College Dublin and have been friends - and colleagues - ever since.

We wanted to develop a service together to support families and address a gap that we had noticed across the breadth of Irish Health Services.

For us, psychological education and support should be available to families from pregnancy and beyond. We know how significant the transition to parenthood can be and how overwhelming the day-to-day demands of life are for all families.

We started out in 2022 with the aim of normalising the emotional challenges of pregnancy and early parenthood and since then, we have grown as a service together with all of the wonderful families we have supported along the way.

We are parents too. Because of this, we know that minding your wellbeing as a parent is essential in order to best support your child's needs.

We are so proud of the community we are building here at Cradle and we hope to support many more families as we continue to grow our service.
