I am trained to conduct Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Systemic and Couples Therapies (including psychosexual) .
I work with people who have a variety of difficulties and varying degrees of distress, such as depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, addiction, and bereavement. I strive to offer a safe, supportive and understanding space for all my clients. I very much believe (and have seen in practice) that therapy is a helpful means for resolving current and/or past issues which may affect people and constrain their ability to lead a fully functional and satisfying life. I have a special interest in (i) psychotherapy for older adults, (ii) addiction and (iii) couples therapy.

Joe Kelly
Psychotherapist, MA, MIAHIP
Dublin, County D02
My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, helping people understand recurring patterns, deepen self-awareness, and work through difficulties such as anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and questions of identity.
My clients tend to be thoughtful, reflective people who feel something in their lives is no longer working as it once did. They may be experiencing anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Often they are navigating demanding work, identity questions, or the emotional shifts that come with parenting and major life transitions. They are usually looking for a space to think more deeply about their experiences, understand long-standing patterns, and move toward a more grounded and meaningful way of living.

I will tailor the therapy to best meet your individual needs, drawing on various tried-and-tested approaches (Humanistic, Existential and Psychodynamic).
Perhaps you've reached a point where talking to friends isn't enough. People often seek therapy when familiar ways of coping no longer work. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, identity, sexuality or recurring patterns that leave you feeling stuck. I work with adults from a range of different backgrounds. Many of my clients feel a need to share experiences they’ve never spoken about, because of a perception of shame or stigma. We will work together to understand what's happening and how your experiences have shaped the way you relate to yourself, others and the world around you.

I'm a psychotherapist specialising in migraine and chronic pain. Are you living with migraine and exhausted from pushing through? Constantly working, showing up, keeping going — all while feeling no one understands what it costs you? Do you feel guilty about cancelling plans, worry about the next attack and find it difficult to relax? You may feel like you've already tried everything and nothing makes a difference. Perhaps you also live with other pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and back or neck pain.

My ideal clients come to therapy feeling lost, overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure of who they really are. They’ve spent years adapting to meet everyone else’s needs, often neglecting their own, and find themselves repeating painful patterns that create chaos and anxiety. They want to understand why this keeps happening. More than anything, they long to feel heard, seen, grounded, and calmer within themselves, and to build a stronger, more secure sense of identity.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out from constantly adapting to a world that doesn’t always make space for difference. Perhaps you’re exploring your neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, AuDHD, or PDA) or navigating addiction, trauma, grief, or emotional overwhelm. You might long to understand yourself better, find balance, or simply feel safe in your own body. My clients often come to therapy tired of surviving alone, ready to be met with curiosity, compassion, and understanding rather than judgment.
