Mr Clive Brassington

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

Clive works with people experiencing a range of symptoms, particularly Depersonalisation and Derealisation. He works in an individual way to meet the needs of a person, focusing on what is brought to find the underlying cause of the issue. “I work with what is known to find what is unknown to the individual"

About Me

I understand how disorienting depersonalisation and derealisation can feel. My approach helps individuals navigate these unsettling experiences, creating a unique space tailored to your specific needs. We'll work together, carefully exploring what you bring to sessions, to uncover the underlying causes. This allows for a deeper understanding and a clear path towards feeling more connected to yourself and the world around you.

Approach

Starting from what feels immediate, I trace how present sensations and memories connect to earlier patterns, using a slow, attentive pace that lets discoveries surface without pressure. I work with adults in Dublin and online, conducting sessions in English and often offering short reflections between meetings to help link insights into daily life. Sessions tend to move between focused noticing of experience and careful interpretation, making sense of unfamiliar dissociation or mood shifts. This approach suits people seeking a steady, exploratory path back to feeling anchored.
