About

Clive Brassington is a qualified and accredited psychoanalytic psychotherapist who works with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, depersonalisation, derealisation, and dissociation. His therapeutic approach is deeply individualised, focusing on uncovering the root causes of distress by working with what is known to explore what may be unknown to the individual.
Clive holds a B.A. (Hons) in Psychology, an M.Sc. in Psychotherapy from the Department of Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin, and a Clinical Diploma from the Irish Institute of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. He is an accredited member of both the Irish Council for Psychotherapy (ICP) and the Irish Forum for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (IFPP), where he has also served on the Executive Committee.
With a particular interest in the nature of self, dreamwork, becoming, and existence, Clive offers a space for reflection, personal development, and change. He works with clients in person and online through the Arduna Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre and the Phoenix Centre.
Before training as a psychotherapist, Clive worked for two decades as a method actor, bringing a unique depth of insight and empathy to his clinical work.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
