Art Therapy Ireland is run by me, Andrea Clare Plunkett.

I am a qualified Art Psychotherapist, registered with both the Irish and European professional associations for Art Therapy. From 2024–2026, I served as Chair of the Irish Association of Creative Arts Therapists (IACAT). I hold an MSc in Art Psychotherapy from Ulster University, Belfast, and have additional BA qualifications in Psychology, Social Care and Art.

Alongside my private practice, I work as a Cultural Art Therapist and provide training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for professionals working across health, education, community and cultural settings.

I am passionate about making trauma-informed Art Therapy more accessible by bringing it into cultural environments such as museums, galleries and heritage spaces. I believe these settings can offer meaningful opportunities for reflection, connection and wellbeing, helping more people experience the benefits of creative therapy.

You can read more about my current work through my upcoming blog posts, including my Cultural Art Therapy projects with the National Gallery of Ireland and Dublin's RHA Gallery, as well as my previous work in pre-school and primary school settings.

Individual, private and group sessions are available. Please get in touch for current waiting times and available options.
