A new place for healing, connection & growth through attachment-informed, play-based, and trauma-responsive care.

HAPii – Healing Attachment Play Institute Ireland

We are a private, independent child and family healing institute grounded in over two decades of clinical practice, research, and advocacy. Our work centres on the voice of the child and relational healing.

Our Therapeutic Approach

We support children, parents, foster carers, and professionals to build safer, stronger relationships through attachment-informed, play-based, and trauma-responsive therapeutic work, independent assessments, psychoeducational support, and specialist training.

Why HAPii?

HAPii was born from a clear need.

Reform is reshaping services in Ireland

As major change takes hold, we wanted to protect what matters most — independence, clinical integrity, the child's voice, and relational practice over bureaucratic process.

We equip the people who hold children through their hardest moments

Whether you're a foster carer, parent, therapist, or frontline professional — HAPii gives you the tools to connect, co-regulate, and heal.

HAPii offers:

  • practical guidance
  • emotional insight
  • a safe space to grow — for you, and for the children you care for

HAPii allows us to continue working in the way we love:

  • creatively
  • therapeutically
  • relationally — HAPii sits outside statutory frameworks by design, so families and professionals always have a place of genuine healing, learning, and support
