Hi, my name is Joe Cleary and I'm a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist working with adults one-to-one in person, in Dundalk. I only work with people remotely - by phone or online - in exceptional circumstances.
Psychotherapy is a way to improve your mental health by speaking freely about whatever is concerning you, and figuring out how you can change your life for the better. Having somewhere to go to on a regular basis where you don't have to pretend you're ok can be a huge benefit, and it can free up your energy to get on with life.
A Psychoanalytic approach to therapy takes your symptoms (such as anxiety, depressed mood, ADHD or excess appetite etc.) as meaningful responses to something going on in your life - in either the present or the past. It's especially useful when you find yourself stuck in repetitive cycles, feeling disconnected from yourself, unable to get to where you want to go.

I have fifteen years clinical experience and two Masters degrees in theory and practice. I'm fully insured and a Registered Practitioner member of the Association for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in Ireland and the Irish Council for Psychotherapy.
The usual fee is €70/£60, but depending upon your circumstances we may agree a different fee. If you want to check if your health insurer will cover some of the cost you can contact me in advance and I'll give you the necessary information.
You can contact me via the form below, or phone via one of the 'Call Me' buttons.
I work in the centre of Dundalk, beside the bus station on the Long Walk.
