Evolve Therapy is an award-winning multidisciplinary clinic based in Cork, providing Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Educational Psychology for children, young people, and families. Our CORU-registered therapists offer flexible supports through in-clinic sessions, home and school visits, and online telehealth appointments.

We also provide preschool and school screenings to help identify and support children’s communication, learning, and participation needs early on. Families travel from Cork City, County Cork, Waterford, Dungarvan, Kerry, and Limerick to access our experienced, family-centred team. We’re proud to support families from across Munster both in person and through our online services nationwide.

Our team delivers evidence-based, neuroaffirmative therapy that focuses on each child’s strengths, helping them develop communication, confidence, and independence in ways that feel natural and meaningful. All major Irish private health insurers, including VHI, Laya Healthcare, and Irish Life Health, recognise both telehealth and in-person sessions for reimbursement.

Our comprehensive Speech and Language Therapy (SLT), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Educational Psychology reports are accepted by schools, GPs, paediatricians, neurologists, ENT specialists, and insurers across Ireland. Referrals are welcomed directly from families or from medical and educational professionals.

We currently have capacity to welcome new clients and would be delighted to discuss how our team can support you or your child. Please contact us to find out more.

THERAPY AT EVOLVE

Therapy at Evolve

Evolve Therapy provides Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy through a team of experienced, CORU-registered clinicians. Our therapists are skilled in supporting children and young people to develop communication, sensory, motor, and everyday participation skills in ways that build confidence and independence.

Sessions may include assessment, one-to-one therapy, and small group activities designed to be interactive and motivating. Each child’s programme is tailored to their goals and interests, helping them learn and thrive in a supportive, play-based environment.

We work with families across Cork City, County Cork, Waterford, Dungarvan, Kerry, and Limerick, offering in-clinic, home, school, and online sessions. Our goal is to make therapy accessible, collaborative, and meaningful for every family.

Evolve Therapy is a warm, welcoming space where children, young people, and families feel understood, supported, and confident to express themselves.

Our therapists work collaboratively to help each child build on their own strengths, overcome challenges, and celebrate progress, empowering them to communicate, learn, and participate more fully in everyday life.

CLASSES

Our programmes are carefully designed to meet the individual developmental needs of every child. We also offer intensive therapy options for families seeking more focused support. These short-term programmes combine speech and language therapy and occupational therapy to help children make meaningful progress in a supportive, play-based setting. Our therapists are highly qualified, CORU-registered, and dedicated to helping each child grow with confidence.

"I just want to say a big thank you for helping our 4-year-old son. He has really come on so much with his speech and social skills since starting with you and he absolutely adores you. It is one of the few times that we don’t have complaints about going in the car when we say we are going to see Emily. You have a wonderful way with children. He really enjoys his time with you and is always in great form when he comes out. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone. I like the fact that you always have time to give the parents a progress report."

“Emily spoke to families who have a child with autism at one of Kerry Autism Action's monthly support meetings earlier this year. It was wonderful to have her there as she was very helpful and gave our families lots of useful information and advice. Emily was very accommodating and spent a lot of time talking to the parents answering any questions they had despite the late hour of the evening. Her new business is brilliant and much needed. It is so beneficial to families who have a child with special needs. Emily is very approachable and has been extremely helpful in addressing queries from parents since the meeting. Kerry Autism Action looks forward to working further with Emily and Evolve Therapy in the future.”

“Both of my children attend Emily's clinic for individual and group sessions. These sessions have been the key to their social and emotional development, with cross reference to Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Behavioural Therapy. Emily respects and nurtures each child's individuality while teaching strategies to overcome the everyday challenges they face. It is due to Emily's input that their confidence has grown so much. She has helped the kids and has helped us as parents, to accept, to appreciate and to understand how they feel and why. Emily is flexible, hard working, very obliging and always at the end of the phone to offer advice in between sessions. She is an invaluable support to our family.”

"Raising a child can be a difficult job but when you add a child development need into the mix it humbles the most able parent and ideologies of "good parenting". Finding yourself helpless to assist your child's needs when their little world is larger than their grasp is truly heartbreaking. As a parent with a beautiful little 2-year-old son that had emerged from hearing loss, I thought the challenge was complete however nothing prepared my son and I for the secondary side effect. In the first instance his desperation in a creche environment was even missed by the child care team, what was perceived as a misbehaviour left me as a mother defeated to help my son. Emily Ahern's intervention was life changing. This is not an understatement in any way. Her professional, knowledgeable and innovative technique had an immediate benefit. Finding someone with this level of interest and unconditional support was a light in a desperate time. Emily has created a resource and product that parents such as I can only be eternally grateful for. This past year has been a journey together between our little family and Emily and the journey continues. Without this resource I cannot imagine where we would be today. "

"We contacted Emily about facilitating a workshop for us here in Wexford for parents, teachers and SNA's about the options for communication for people on the spectrum. We found her very professional to deal with from start to finish. She has a great manner and a genuine interest in improving the lives of families who have children on the spectrum."
