Overall Rating
I can honestly say that Caroline is one of the most compassionate, understanding and dedicated people I have ever met. From the very beginning, she made us feel heard, respected and genuinely cared for. In situations that felt overwhelming and emotionally exhausting, she showed patience, empathy and professionalism every single time.
What truly makes Caroline exceptional is that she doesn’t treat people like “just another case.” She listens carefully, pays attention to every detail and always tries to find the best possible way to help. Her support, kindness and calm approach made a huge difference for us during very difficult moments.
It is incredibly rare to meet someone who combines such knowledge and professionalism with real humanity and warmth. Caroline creates a safe space where people feel understood instead of judged, and that alone means more than words can describe.
I am deeply grateful for everything she has done and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone truly caring, trustworthy and passionate about helping others.
Caroline was very professional and warm and understanding my daughter felt comfortable with her because of her warm way my daughter was happy brilliant person highly recommended
Caroline is a very professional psychologist. She's a warm person and make a comfortable atmosphere in her therapy room. My teenager daughter was happy after the appointment. We were treated seriously and all our concerns was explained. I highly recommend this practice.
I went to the Irish resilience clinic quite anxious about what to expect and what would happen if I was diagnosed. However Caroline was so kind and supportive that I felt comfortable quite quickly and she was really detailed about how autism effected me and most of all she was positive about it and did not make me feel that it was a bad thing which has given me a lot of confidence. She is a genuinely good person and I would recommend her to anyone, you will not regret picking the Irish resilience clinic.
If you want to get treated like a human being then the resilience clinic is for you. Compassionate, validating, adapative. This was my 3rd time going for a review, the other Irish company offering this service you're a number on a balance sheet, no empathy and I dropped out. This was much more empowering and felt like you're working with someone who actually understands.
Today i had a really positive experience with Carolin psychologist specialist From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable, understood, and supported. She created a safe space where I could openly express myself. Receiving my diagnosis was a big moment for me, and she handled it with sensitivity and professionalism. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking understanding and support.
I went for my assessment today with Caroline and got diagnosed with autism and adhd, the second I walked in she made me so comfortable I felt i was able to be myself and talk where thats a struggle for me so thank you so so much Caroline you made me feel so comfortable??
As a parent, I cannot say enough positive things about Caroline Goldsmith and the support she has given my son. From the very beginning, her detailed reports helped us understand what he was experiencing and how we could best support him. Each session is followed by clear and compassionate reports that outline his progress and next steps. Her reports always highlight his strengths while thoughtfully addressing areas where he needs encouragement. What stands out most is how her reports provide practical tools we can use at home, making us feel actively involved in his growth. Over time, the consistent reports have shown real improvement in his confidence and emotional wellbeing. Reading her reports reassures us that our son is receiving truly professional and caring guidance.
I had such a positive experience at Irish Resilience Clinic. The team is incredibly professional, kind, and truly listens to your concerns. I felt supported from my very first appointment. Highly recommend to anyone looking for compassionate and expert care.
Caroline was a pleasure to have met she made both my son and I feel at ease from the mintue we entered the clinic . She was so professional and had lot of time and patience with my son
Caroline assessed our daughter and was absolutely brilliant. She was kind, patient, and made the whole process feel very comfortable and supportive. Her professionalism and understanding really stood out, and we felt listened to every step of the way. We would highly recommend Caroline to other families.
I had my daughter and son assessed i rang on the 6th January and had appointment on the 13th. Caroline was very friendly and put them at ease straight away. I would definitely recommend making an appointment. Excellent service
Just had my sons assessment today and I could not recommend enough such a warm atmosphere & made me and my child feel super comfortable and finally got the diagnosis we had long awaited for she went above & beyond definitely recommend to all thanks again ??
I would like to thank you very much for your professional approach and help for my daughter.
Very smooth experience. Highly professional and great empathy for the subject involved. Would highly recommend.
Caroline was very helpful and understanding. She was very quick to respond to any questions and was very professional.
I was explaining a lot, from topic to topic with my mother to Caroline, and I was relieved about what I discovered about myself and what I inherited from my mom and dad.
Ms Goldsmith made all three of my children feel comfortable and at ease
From the moment we went in Caroline pug us at ease, it was not really a like a test more of a chat with someone, my child played and was oblivious to what was going on.
We had an absolute amazing experience with Caroline they way she explained everything was so clear and gave us as a family such a better understanding of asd and adhd and our child and her needs such a beautiful and amazing woman to have dealt with and I cant recommend her enough
IRC are an amazing service. I was treated with kindness and patience. I feel so validated and empowered after my autism assessment and receiving my autism diagnosis.
After being in with my daughter for an assessment , I wasn't only given confirmation on what I believed all along but also, extra information that no other professional has mentioned to me befiew and for that im greatful for . Im now on the right track to getting help badly needed
I can honestly say these are the good guys. An expert in their field. I was at the end of my will when I reached out to the clinic and I have been so grateful ever since. Do not hesitate I could not recommend more.
It was very helpful. Thank you Caroline for your great help. She is a great support and she gave me a lot of information that helps my son. I am so grateful for that. I called her in the last minute but she helped me. I am sure it will change my son’s future and it gives me confidence to take care of my son.I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you
We are deeply grateful to Caroline in Resilience Clinic for the incredible support and care she has shown in helping our son. At a time when we were filled with uncertainty about securing a school place, she acted like a true angel — stepping in at the right moment to diagnose him and guide us forward. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication were remarkable. She not only gave us clarity but also gave us hope. Thanks to her timely intervention, our son now has the support he needs for his future. If I were to rate her service, I would confidently give her a 9/10 — an excellent score that reflects her expertise, kindness, and genuine commitment to helping children and families. We will always remember the difference she made in our lives. Highly recommended!
Myself and my daughter met with Caroline today. Caroline was very welcoming and extremely friendly made us feel at ease. Caroline was wonderful with my daughter and listened to everything we had to say. After a long 10 years I finally got my daughter’s diagnosis which is going to help her and her future massively. I honestly cannot thank this woman enough and would recommend her to anyone who would like to get their child assessed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my baby.
I took my son for assessment and it was very well handled and smooth and my boy was comfortable throughout the session. I will def return. And we were not rushed.
Caroline has been a amazing support and explains everything with care and compassion though out our experience though our assessment process And any other sessions we get to help us as a.family to cope highly recommend
Caroline was amazing to engage with, she was very opening and done things in my time, didn’t rush me for answers and was very considerate
Caroline was very warm and easy to talk to, overall I had a very pleasant experience and I’m delighted with my report.
Caroline has offered us long term support for our child, where services are often so difficult to obtain. Very grateful for her expertise.
I came to IRC to make peace with who I am and get recognised once and for all. All my fears and second guesses melted away as she explained what my patterns are called. I come from a no mental health check background. More of a we notice something useful in you and we exploit it
Caroline was absolutely amazing she was so kind and gentle with my daughter on assessment day. Caroline has been wonderful with guidance and advice I'm so thankful we are now moving in the right direction. I would have no problem in recommending Caroline and her services.
Caroline is a wonderful ladies takes her time gettin to no us and wonderful at her job
I am really very happy that I made the decision to go to Resilience Clinic, I was lost regarding my son, several frustrating attempts to get my son's diagnosis. It was the best decision, she clarified everything for me, and it was very gratifying to understand everything. Thank you very much Resilience Clinic. I recommend it 1000% without a doubt.
Our young person has struggled for years with anxiety. It had become clear there was a deeper issue. Caroline was able to connect with us in a compassionate and professional way. We are now in a position to avail of much needed resources in the education system and beyond. We understand each other better as a family. I am so grateful to her. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Irish Resilience has been nothing but pleasant to deal with. I've never felt more welcome in a room or so validated in things I thought were flaws in being a human, but in gaining the knowledge from this diagnosis has been nothing but eye opening and I'm so grateful to have had such warmth when engaging with Caroline. I'll never be able to thank you enough.
My son was recently assessed by Caroline in the Irish resilience clinic. Our experience from start to finish was so comfortable and pleasant. He felt able to speak candidly and to answer any questions with ease as it was a calm and relaxing environment for him, which was a great comfort. Caroline did a full assessment and really took her time with us, explaining everything in detail and having a good chat with us afterwards also, with a very friendly nature and sense of humour. I couldn't fault the experience in any way. She made us feel very positive about the future and we left feeling a massive relief. I received an email that same evening with links to several supports for my son. I'm really glad I went with this service and I would recommend it to anyone I know.
I called the clinic seeking an assessment as soon as possible and was accommodated. I had a truly wonderful experience. All staff were very helpful and knowledgeable in the field and delivered the assessments Would recommend.
Yesterday I seen Caroline for the first time with my son an I could not recommend this beautiful lady anuff she is so understanding an listen to everything you have to say you get tha warm welcome soon as you walk into her room an I got the answers of Caroline tha I’ve been hoping to get to put mind at ease so I no why my son is goin on the way he is if anyone has any concerns about your child Caroline is definitely the lady to get in contact with an she replies back to you quick she doesn’t leave you waitin I was so worried goin in there but after talking with the beautiful lady I was at ease coming out
Absolutely brilliant fast result with reasonable price and Caroline is beautiful
I had given up on my daughters schools for help, she had entered secondary school and was still struggling. We had a lovely meeting and were put at ease straight away. Also the learning experience was invaluable to me for other services I can get in contact with for my daughter. It has helped my daughter to understand herself better. I’m sorry I didn’t it sooner. I would recommend this professional service and will be going back if I need to in the future. Thank you very much for all your help Caroline.
Made a last minute appointment for my 3 year old son after his public assessment had been pushed back twice and I had no hope anymore of him being assessed publicly , as soon as I entered the room I felt calm and welcomed and so did my son , Caroline couldn’t have been a more nicer and positive person if she tried , extremely educated and professional and knew my son inside and out like he was her own , I will forever thank her for making this such a positive experience , I would highly recommend this woman !!
