Erica Brady

Trainee Counselling Psychologist

DCounsPsy (in progress), MSc Psychological Studies, BA Psychology

Erica is a down-to-earth Trainee Counselling Psychologist who works with adults and young persons aged 16 and over. She has experience in person-centred and experiential counselling and a particular interest in neurodiversity-affirming approaches, making therapy accessible for people who think and experience the world differently.

Her style is plain-speaking and relational. Erica listens carefully, is honest about what she notices, and avoids jargon, within a relationship where you feel heard and understood. Therapy with her is collaborative and works at a pace that suits you. Alongside this, she is developing her practice in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which offers practical ways of working with difficult thoughts, feelings and patterns.

Erica holds a BA in Psychology (summa cum laude) from Spalding University, USA, and an MSc in Psychological Studies with Merit from the University of Glasgow. She is a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society.

She is currently training towards a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University and works under regular clinical supervision as part of her training.

Erica works on Wednesdays from our Sciennes clinic.

  • “I can see further through the process how the past helps explain my thoughts and behaviours now. I can now try and change my ways of thinking. It has not always felt easy talking about my feelings but letting someone objective challenge the assumptions that led me to some of those feelings, such as guilt, has helped me deal with difficult family circumstances.”

  • “I think Dylan has been excellent and so was Ashleigh before. I feel this is a safe space where I can speak without being judged and really explore my issues. I wouldn't say I'm someone in desperate need for therapy, but I keep coming back as Dylan shows me how to turn my head into a strength. I would say it's beginning to become the case now. Came in a broken man, leaving happy :)”

  • “Therapy has impacted my life greatly - I have seen a vast improvement in my mental health and can navigate my emotions with confidence. I have felt seen and heard without judgement throughout my sessions, and couldn’t be more thankful for the support I have been given!”

  • “I have received therapy via zoom because of geography and have found it very beneficial. I feel listened to but also feel it is a collaborative space.”
