COVID-19

Counsellors and psychotherapists are considered part of Social Care, which is an essential service when Government and NPHET protocols and guidance on social distancing are followed.

Dundrum Counselling & Therapy Centre reopened for face to face counselling/psychotherapy on Monday 8th June. This was to facillitate clients for whom online and telephone options are not safe, practical or effective.

At DCTC, we have taken every possible precaution to ensure the continued operation of the centre and more importantly, your safety.

DCTC reopened for face to face work with clients on the 8th of June 2020. We have established a comprehensive set of protocols and procedures aimed at optimising health and safety.

We recognised that good ventilation was an important part of a basic safety plan and decided to work through the summer months with windows open in consulting rooms. As the weather turned colder this became a more daunting prospect. A basic degree of physical comfort is an important part of any therapeutic space. We made the decision to invest in Novaerus air purification systems which are now installed in all consulting rooms. Please see below for more information on Novaerus:

The purpose of these systems is to reduce pathogens in indoor environments: in essence, to clear the atmosphere of airborne infection agents. Alongside the air purification systems, we continue to implement all protocols around disinfecting surfaces, hand sanitising, social distancing, etc. Our aim is to keep you, our clients, and ourselves safe during this challenging pandemic
