About us
Jigsaw Dublin City is a free, non-judgemental, and confidential support service for young people aged 12 – 25 living, working, or studying in Dublin City.
We provide guidance and support for young people who are going through a difficult or distressing time. We also provide advice and guidance for anyone who is concerned about a young person in their life.
We operate in two different locations:
- 44 Essex Street East Temple Bar, Dublin 2
- Beckett House, Summerhill, Dublin 1. (Wheelchair accessible)
Jigsaw services aim to provide tailored community-based help for young people’s mental health needs.
Direct support for young people
Our service in Dublin City provides a welcoming space for young people to get information or have a chat with a support worker. If a young person wants support, our staff are there to listen, without making judgements, and provide supportive guidance. We also provide information and advice to anyone worried about a friend or young person in their life.
Working with young people
At Jigsaw, we believe it is vital to make sure young people’s voices are heard. Our Youth Advocates represent us and take part in decision-making at every level.
We are currently recruiting Youth Advocates (aged 16-25) for our Jigsaw Dublin service. If you would like to apply please complete an application form.
Working with the community
As well as directly helping young people in tough times, we want to work towards a community that is supportive of mental health and wellbeing.
Presentations and talks in schools, workplaces, and community groups aim to open up a discussion on mental health and raise people’s awareness of the support that Jigsaw Dublin City can offer.

Rachel Ardagh
I completed an honours degree in Occupational Therapy (OT) in Trinity College. After working for several years in disability I studied Equine Assisted Therapy and became qualified as an Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator, and a Therapeutic Riding Coach. I am now studying for a Masters in Mindfulness Based Interventions in UCD.
Study and work
I spent 7 years working as an OT supporting children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. I then took a post facilitating and delivering equine assisted therapy programmes in an equestrian centre. There, alongside horses, I supported a wide population of people with varying different sensory, motor, intellectual, and emotional needs. Before coming to Jigsaw I worked as Senior Paediatric OT in Primary Care. This job focused on boosting children’s and adolescent’s self esteem by supporting them to achieve functional goals.
