For anxiety, big feelings, routines and school
1:1 support for you and your child
Regular sessions with Katie, built around the hardest parts of your day. We work on them together until you feel ready to handle them yourself.
Sessions are mainly with you. Your child joins when it helps, for example to practise a strategy together.
Not sure which suits you? That's what the free call is for.

Pay in stages
Pay for a block in stages, each paid before that stage starts. No interest, no fees. For a 6-session block that's 2 payments, for 10 sessions 3.
Stop any time
Blocks are paid in stages, each before it starts. If you stop, we simply don't send the next payment, so you never pay for a stage you haven't started. Any sessions you've paid for but not used stay as credit for 12 months. Read our cancellation policy.
Further than 40 km away?
Home and school visits more than 40 km from Donadea (outside Co. Kildare) add mileage, quoted before you book. See where we work

How it works
Small steps you can use the same week
Our goal is that you need us less over time, not more.
Initial 30-minute call is free
Tell us what's been happening. We'll tell you honestly if 1:1 sessions are the right fit.
Agree where to start
In the first session we pick the two or three things that matter most right now.
Sessions every week or fortnight
Each one ends with something small to try before the next.
Review together
At the end of a block we look at what's changed, then decide: keep going, change focus, or stop.
From other parents
What parents say
We came to The Behaviour Hive struggling with my child's intense fear of dogs, weather and anxiety which was significantly impacting our child's day to day life. Katie's approach with our child along with her professional expertise and genuine care, allowed our child to open up and engage with the therapy process at their pace. Through the personalised strategies and tools provided, our child has learned to navigate their anxiety with confidence. Seeing them go from being paralysed by fear to now managing encounters with dogs and going about day to day life like their friends is a milestone we thought we might never reach. Katie's work has equipped our child with lifelong coping skills and a new found confidence. We are so grateful for the expert care that helped our child and family. I would highly recommend their services to any parent seeking support for their child.

How we work
Understanding, not correction
We treat behaviour as communication, not misbehaviour to be eliminated. Our approach is evidence-based and neuro-affirming, grounded in Positive Behaviour Support, never about changing who your child is.

Questions
Do I need a diagnosis to start?
No. You can book a free call directly, whether or not your child has a diagnosis or is on a public waiting list. Please note: we do not currently provide autism or ADHD diagnostic assessments.
Can we mix online and in-person sessions?
Yes. Each session is charged at the rate for where it takes place, so you can move between online, the office and home as suits you.
Can parents or caregivers join?
Yes. Parents or caregivers are welcome at any session, at no extra cost. It helps when everyone at home is using the same approach.
Is this the same as the behaviour assessment?
No. 1:1 sessions are coaching for you and your child. The assessment is a structured look at why a behaviour happens, with a written plan. On the free call we'll tell you which fits.
Talk it through first
Your first 30-minute call is completely free, with no obligation and no pressure.
