Niamh Duffy - Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in Dundalk

20/11/2025

Ever notice how you say “I’m fine” when you’re clearly not? Or laugh off something that stings?

These are the mind’s defences at work - protecting us, sometimes without us even realising. Defences once had a purpose, keeping us together when life felt too much. In therapy, we don’t strip them away. We listen.

Those slips, silences, and jokes are signposts to what’s been pushed aside. With curiosity and consistency, defences can soften, opening space for new ways of being in how we relate to ourselves and the world.

The Function of the Psychotherapist / Psychoanalyst in the Age of Self-Help
We live in a time of curiosity about the self and one’s wellbeing. Many people turn to journaling, mindfulness, or exercise and these are all helpful practices, but they can only take us some of the way.
My latest blog post explores how psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help us notice what lies outside of our conscious awareness offering us a deeper understanding of our experiences.

🌿Why do people begin therapy? 🌿
People start therapy for all different reasons. Sometimes it’s a feeling that you can’t move forward. Sometimes it’s a curiosity about who you are. Whatever the reason, therapy offers a space to talk openly and to explore what is and what can be, at your own pace.
