IAHIP - About

MY IAHIP LOGIN

The Irish Association of Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy (IAHIP) is Ireland’s trusted professional body for accredited humanistic psychotherapists, supporting both the public and our members through the highest standards in care, community, and ethical practice.

IAHIP was established in 1992 and is one of the four psychotherapy sections within the Irish Council for Psychotherapy. We provide professional accreditation, support, training and continuing education for our members.

For the public, we offer a nationwide directory of Accredited Psychotherapists (MIAHIP), helping people find high-quality psychotherapy locally or online, based on the issues they wish to explore.
We also share helpful information and resources — including articles on key topics like anxiety, depression and eating disorders — as well as regular updates on mental health news and developments.

Vision

Our vision is to ensure that high-quality, humanistic psychotherapy is supported, represented and valued across all communities. We want every person in Ireland to have access to trusted, compassionate, and professionally accredited psychotherapy.

Mission

We support our members and the public by upholding the highest standards in psychotherapy, promoting humanistic practice, and advocating for ethical care. Our trusted accreditation processes, educational programmes, and varied communications underpin these commitments.

Values

Excellence – We uphold the highest professional standards.
Compassion – We centre humanity and empathy in all we do.
Integrity – We act with transparency, ethics, and responsibility.
Community – We support both our members and the public with care.
Accessibility – We work to ensure therapy is available and inclusive for all.

If you are looking for a therapist you can trust, then you have come to the right place. All the therapists listed in our directory are fully qualified and experienced practitioners. In order to be accredited by us, therapists must have completed a comprehensive course of training as well as a minimum of 500 hours of supervised practice.

Our members have signed up to and are bound by the Code of Ethics and Practice of IAHIP and are subject to the IAHIP complaints procedure.

We set and maintain the standards of relevant psychotherapy training and practice in Ireland and we represent humanistic and integrative psychotherapy at national and international levels.

We keep a register of all accredited practitioners and supervisors and promote the provision of training and education in humanistic and integrative psychotherapy.

Humanistic & Integrative psychotherapy combines two approaches to improve your mental health and support personal growth.

Humanistic Psychotherapy

This approach celebrates individuality, focusing on your unique experiences and potential for self-actualisation. Grounded in empathy, genuine connection, and unconditional positive regard, it empowers you to grow and find meaning. Techniques like person-centered therapy, gestalt therapy and existential therapy help you unlock your inner strengths.

Integrative Psychotherapy

Every person is unique and integrative psychotherapy reflects this by combining tools and ideas from different therapeutic methods. It adapts to your specific needs, creating a flexible, client-centered approach that supports your journey to better mental health.

Together, these approaches offer a supportive and personalised path towards better mental health.
