Fergal Brady, Phone: 086 811 9473 Fergal is a full member of the Irish Psycho-Analytical Association and an accredited member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP). He graduated with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2005 from DBS, School of Arts. He then completed a M.A. in Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Sheffield. Fergal has been working in private practice in Dublin and Dundalk. He served as Chairman of the Board of the Dowdstown House Counselling Centre at Navan, Co Meath from 2011 to 2013.
Fergal works with trauma, especially the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. His research interest at the University of Sheffield was in the structures involved in childhood sexual abuse and he retains strong interest in this area. He has an interest in the history of psychoanalysis and in the life and work of Hungarian psychoanalyst Sandor Ferenczi.
He has given a number of talks at the Monkstown Group of the Irish Psycho-Analytical Association on a variety of topics including the taboo of the bad mother; the work of Sandor Ferenczi and on positive mental health. In a 2014 paper at the Association titled ‘An Elsewhere of Potential’ he traced some psychoanalytical ideas though the poetry and prose of Seamus Heaney. He takes a creative view of symptoms and their expression of the subject’s adaption to their world.
Fergal’s background is in business having worked in banking for some years. He is experienced in working with clients who suffer work related stress or anxieties and depression. Fergal’s practice is at Counselling Connections, 27 Seatown Place, Dundalk, Co Louth and at Mind and Body Works in Wicklow Street, Dublin.
