Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist with 20 years of experience . . .
Clare McFadden Therapy offers counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and couples face to face in South Belfast, and online.
Clare’s clinical approach will help people to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether the counselling is face to face or online, you will be offered a safe, non-judgemental, consistent therapeutic space.
The psychotherapy will allow you to explore and be curious about how you think and feel, your view of the world, and your relationships with others.
This approach can help you to understand the impact of less conscious aspects of yourself on how you feel about yourself, and on how you relate to other people.
Clare has experience of counselling people from many different cultural and religious backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders and ages.
Services
Individual Therapy
Most of us experience difficulties coping with how we feel at various times in our lives, and can often resolve our issues without outside help. Sometimes though, however much we try, we keep repeating old patterns that stop us from living as we would want to.
Clare offers a confidential space to speak freely about yourself and your life. The psychoanalytic approach to counselling helps you to get in touch with an inner world that isn’t often readily accessible. This leads to a better understanding of who you are and what has led to your current situation.
Couples Therapy
Clare offers a neutral, non-judgemental environment for couples counselling, where both of you are encouraged to talk freely about how you are truly feeling.
The focus of the work would be on the areas of difficulty in the relationship, and finding ways to understand what is behind these difficulties.
This understanding can then help you both work out what is needed to improve relations between you moving forward.
Clinical Supervision
Clare offers supervision from a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic perspective, to both trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
Clare also enjoys working with people who are interested in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic principles, and who want to use them more confidently in their work.
