Health Insurance

Important information for clients who may be eligible to claim part of their counselling or psychotherapy fees.

Some private health insurance plans may provide a contribution towards counselling or psychotherapy where the practitioner meets the insurer's professional requirements. DCCS meets the relevant IACP practitioner requirements.

Please check your individual policy directly with your insurer before booking, as eligibility and benefits vary by plan.

Tax relief on health expenses

Some clients may be eligible to claim tax relief at the standard 20% rate on qualifying health expenses through Revenue, depending on their individual circumstances and Revenue's eligibility requirements.

DCCS can provide receipts and, on request, an annual statement of counselling or psychotherapy fees paid.
