Clare Brady
Psychodynamic psychotherapistAbout Me
I am both a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a strong belief in the power of therapy to facilitate personal growth and healing. After many years of experience in the field I have honed my skills towards helping individuals navigate through their emotional challenges and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, which explores the unconscious processes that shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I firmly believe that our past experiences, relationships, and early childhood dynamics profoundly influence our present-day lives. By delving into these underlying dynamics, I help my clients gain insight into their unconscious patterns, enabling them to make meaningful changes in their lives.
In my therapy sessions, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment, allowing you to freely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I listen actively and intentionally in order to provide empathetic support uniquely with respect to your personal testimony giving individuals the chance to express themselves openly and honestly. I view the therapeutic relationship with you as a collaborative partnership. A chance to work together in order to uncover deep-rooted issues resulting in the development of specialised coping strategies for your current challenges.
My ultimate aim through therapy is to help you as the individual gain a better understanding of yourself and your relationships. Through your own self-reflection and personal exploration, you will be able to develop insight into the root of your emotional struggles, pattern of behaviour, and relational difficulties. This new found self-awareness will form the grounds for personal growth, empowering yourself to make positive changes in your life.
My method of therapy results in a range of benefits. By exploring conscious processes, you will experience an increase in self-awareness, leading to improved self-esteem and self-acceptance. Additionally you will develop healthier coping mechanisms, enhance your communication skills, and build more fulfilling and satisfying relationships. Moreover, psychodynamic therapy can aid in resolving unresolved traumas and addressing deep-seated emotional wounds, facilitating profound healing and personal transformation.
While I work with a diverse range of individuals, my areas of expertise include but are not limited to:
Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): I specialise in helping individuals heal from traumatic experiences, providing a safe environment for processing and integran.
Anxiety and Depression: I assist clients in understanding the underlying causes of their anxiety and depression, supporting them in developing effective strategies to manage their symptoms.
Relationship Issues: I work with individuals struggling with relationship difficulties, helping them navigate conflicts, improve communication, and foster healthier connections.
Self-Identity and Self-Esteem: I guide individuals in exploring their sense of self, assisting them in developing a stronger sense of identity and enhancing their self-esteem.
Grief and Loss: I provide compassionate support for individuals experiencing grief and loss, helping them navigate the stages of grief and find meaning in their experiences.
By incorporating psychodynamic principles and drawing from my areas of expertise, I strive to create a transformative therapeutic experience for my clients. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.
