Andrea Brady
Qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist
I believe that a good relationship in the therapy room is the fundamental cornerstone to making therapy work. It is difficult to look at our innermost fears and darkest thoughts, never mind voicing them to a stranger. It is my goal for therapy, that you feel comfortable enough to explore these with me. The therapeutic experience is a dual relationship which we need to work together to create.
​
I have worked with many different people who wanted support with anxiety & depression, addiction, family trauma, personal trauma, identity, sexual identity, parental support around sexual development. It is within the support of therapy that we can work through these issues to help create a stronger sense of inner strength and resilience. Working through talk therapy helps to cultivate a stronger sense of self which prepares us as we move forward. Some of my clients attend for short term periods to help with times of stress and others stay long term as a mental health support, similar to that of physical health.
In addition to my degree, I continue to engage in further study, in particular psychoanalysis, to ensure I keep on top of new research. This helps to deepen my ability to create bespoke therapy in a multitude of modalities.

“Our sadness is an energy we discharge in order to heal… Sadness is painful. We try to avoid it. Actually discharging sadness releases the energy involved in our emotional pain. To hold it in is to freeze the pain within us. The therapeutic slogan is that grieving is the ‘healing feeling.’“
- John Bradshaw
Testimonials
"I reached out as a check in while things were difficult. I would definitely recommend Andrea as she helped me to see patterns that I thought I had fixed. I like that Andrea also offers do a check in appointments even after finishing up with her. "
""She is empathic and compassionate, but not afraid to challenging in a constructive way that helps you see clarity. I found this immensely helpful, and I have changed the way I see things. I’m no longer as negative in my outlook and can see the positives in the smallest of things making my days full of more joy. ""
"Andrea made me feel safe and comfortable from the get-go. She was warm and non-judgmental which was what I really needed at the time. The sessions helped me change the things I was unhappy with. "
"I was struggling with work difficulties and had lost my drive to want to be there. Andrea helped me look at the things that mattered most to me, and where I wanted to spend investing my time. I decided I wanted to look for a new job and it has changed how I show up everywhere. I hadn’t realised it was impacting my relationships and my drive for life in general."
"We were in a cycle of arguing in our relationship and Andrea helped us to see that we weren’t communicating clearly and misunderstanding what our fights were actually about. With Andrea’s help we were able to see what was really upsetting each other. It’s a lot easier to manage arguments now as we can put words on what’s happening for us both. Andrea helped give us some tips and skills to navigate disagreements. "
