Irish Life Counselling in Dundalk
Your therapeutic journey is individually yours and you need the right therapeutic relationship to support it. As an integrative clinical psychotherapist, I work to ensure my support is effective and meaningful by using evidence-based methods.
At its core my practice emphasises self-acceptance and personal growth through person-centred care. I have a particular interest in the lasting impact of trauma—both psychological and physiological. To support healing, I use a range of evidence-based, mind-body approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).
Therapy can work - let it work for you.

Hi - my name is Joe Cleary and I'm a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist working with adults in Dundalk.
A psychoanalytic approach is best suited to resolving deeper, more complex issues, in order to create permanent change in your life. It's a good approach for someone who wants to understand themselves better, when they are confused by their own thoughts and actions.
I'm APPI accredited with over 15 years clinical experience in an extensive range of issues, from acute psychiatric ill health to difficult life changes and situations. I offer support during difficult times for when you want time and space to figure things out.

Talking is medicine. I don't mean it's like medicine; I mean IT IS medicine. It heals. It gives clarity and perspective; It makes people feel better. I have been lucky enough to help and witness people change how they think and feel so that life feels easier - not so damn difficult all the time. I have seen the smiles on faces as lifelong emotional burdens are put down and life can be lived fully again. I have had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life deal with many types of issues; from the immediate, such as trouble with work, to challenges and issues whose roots stretch back to childhood.

You might be carrying stress, anxiety, burnout, chronic illness, or an eating disorder — and despite everything you've tried, it still feels like an uphill battle. Maybe you've spent years holding yourself to impossible standards, living with a relentless inner critic.
That critic isn't a flaw. It's a part of you that learned to keep you safe — and it's exhausted too.
Many people I work with are ready for something more profound: not just coping, but healing. Together, we listen to the parts of you that have been working overtime — to understand them, unburden them, and reconnect you with the calm core that's always been within you.

Clients come to counselling when their normal coping mechanisms are no longer working for them and they are feeling overwhelmed, confused and afraid. It may be due to anxiety in their life, stress in work or relationships, low self esteem or depression. They come looking for clarity, a sense of understanding that they are not alone in what they are feeling and perhaps for practical techniques to manage the conflicting emotions. They also want to be really listened to and not to be judged as they tell their story.

Many people experience some form of disruption in their mental wellbeing at some point across their life and may need some extra supports when managing this. Perhaps you may have experienced something very challenging, upsetting or traumatic, recently or in the past, which you are finding difficult to process. Alternatively, you may be feeling tired, frustrated with life and lacking motivation for those parts of life from which you used to take enjoyment. Emotional wellbeing can impact greatly on varying aspects of daily life, hinder the ability to carry out normal daily activities and can cause conflict with those close to us.
