My name is Joe Cleary and I'm a Psychotherapist working in Dundalk and online. I work one-to-one with adults and have extensive experience working with many issues, including:
- Stress and anxiety
- Depression and Bi-polar disorder
- ADHD and ADD
- OCD
- Relationship difficulties
- Psychosis
- Grief and loss
Psychotherapy is a form of mental health treatment based on putting thoughts into words, to explore what you're going through and figure out how to improve the situation. It's similar to counselling, which many people are more aware of, but it's more in depth and psychotherapists are trained to a higher level. Having somewhere where you don't have to act like you're ok, where you can speak freely in private, frees up energy for the rest of your life. It's open to everyone, no matter how mild or severe you think your situation is - the only starting point is wanting to begin. You don't need a referral from your doctor, you can make contact directly yourself.
My approach to psychotherapy is Psychoanalytic, - that means that it reads your symptoms as meaningful responses to something in the past or present, even when you don't understand where they've come from. It takes work to decipher them in order to help you better understand yourself and the causes of your distress and symptoms. This approach is especially useful when you find yourself stuck in repetitive cycles, feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to get to where you want to go, and confused by your own behaviour.
