Joseph Harney

Hi, I'm Joseph, and thanks for finding me here. I’m an experienced Irish psychological therapist, with a practice primarily focused on relationship difficulties. These create psychological challenges that tend to preoccupy every waking minute of our lives. Our self-understanding is built up through our relationships, through what gets reflected back to us from those closest to us. As a result, difficulties like infidelity, jealousy, envy, loneliness, repeating conflicts - these can cut to the core of who we are. Working together, I can support you to rebuild trust in yourself, and make greater sense of the difficult relational reality you find yourself in. I am not interested in 'analysing' you or filling our time with 'therapy speak' - I prefer to relate to you person to person, in direct terms. We'll start by understanding your problems from your point of view, how you experience them. I have specialist knowledge of the psychology of love, connection, and relationships, which we can make use of in our work. I also work with issues such as depression, cultural integration, and LGBTQIA+ life. I bring a steady warmth and calmness to my work. This means compassionate, gentle professionalism that's neither clinical nor cold. Psychological issues, particularly those stemming from relationship trouble, typically need a reliable, sensitive presence at a time when you might be doubting yourself. I'll be alongside you as we work through it, together. The first contact with someone like me is the hardest to make, but be assured that I'll meet you with respect and discretion from the first moment. I can help you cut through the noisy world of mental health advice to find the way forward that's directly, precisely relevant to you, your life, and how you choose to live it. You are so very welcome to be in touch. I can talk through any questions or concerns you may have, I endeavour to always meet these with honesty, integrity, and transparency. I hold accreditation with the Dansk Psykoterapeut Forening, as well as the UK's BACP and BPS.
