Hi - my name is Joe Cleary and I'm a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. I work one-to-one with adults in Belfast on the Lisburn Road. My approach is best suited to complex situations that require in-depth therapy over time, to effect permanent change. I'm a member of the UKCP and NIIHR and I have over 15 years clinical experience with an extensive range of issues, from acute psychiatric ill health to difficult life changes and situations. My particular expertise is in treating OCD.
Psychotherapy improves your mental health through 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.
If you want to work with an experienced professional you can contact me by email or phone and begin changing your life. You don't need a referral from a doctor, you can take control directly yourself.
Take the first step to help. Call or Joe Cleary now - 085 144 0272

I've listed some examples of issues that I work with regularly, but whatever you want to work on becomes the focus of the work. You don't even have to have a fully worked out reason as to why you want to engage in treatment in order to begin. It's enough to feel like you need help, and want it, to make a start. You'll clarify what's going on for you over tim
