I'm Dr. Claire Conlon, a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, mum of three, and founder of The Caterpillar Clinic — voted Ireland's best Psychology and Mental Health service in 2026.
For almost 20 years, I've supported children, adolescents, and families across Ireland and the UK, specialising in autism, ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation, and behaviour. Too often, families wait until challenges become crises — stuck on long waiting lists, feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn.
My mission is simple: to ensure families can access expert psychological support when they need it, not when it is too late.
The Caterpillar Clinic offers compassionate, neuroaffirming, evidence-based assessments and therapy, alongside online programmes, webinars, and our Cocoon Community to give parents the knowledge and confidence to support their children day to day. My approach combines clinical expertise with practical, real-world strategies that fit into busy family life.
I believe in early intervention: support sooner means less stress, stronger relationships, and children who thrive.
At the heart of everything we do is one simple belief:
When parents feel supported, children thrive.
