Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is a form of talk therapy that delves into the influence that unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories can have on current behaviour. Building on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theories, this therapeutic approach aims to bring awareness to these unconscious processes, fostering self-understanding and personal growth. By exploring past experiences and internal conflicts, psychodynamic therapy aims to help individuals recognise how their histories shape present actions and relationships, ultimately promoting emotional well-being and healthier coping mechanisms.

Principles
Treatment; how can therapy help you?
Psychodynamic therapy can help you by uncovering the deep emotional and psychological patterns that influence your thoughts, behaviours, and relationships. By looking at past experiences, especially from your childhood, you can gain a clearer understanding of how these shape who you are today. This insight allows you to address unresolved issues and make meaningful changes that improve your emotional well-being and how you cope with challenges.
In my practice, I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and empathetic space where you can explore difficult feelings and experiences free from judgement. I will help you reflect on unconscious patterns that may be affecting your life, empowering you to grow, build healthier relationships, and move towards lasting change.
Looking after our mental health is of fundamental importance and should be as routine as seeking help from a doctor or going to the gym.
A one-to-one session in a private and confidential setting offers a space in which difficult feelings can be processed. Whether dealing with past trauma, current stress, or relationship challenges, therapy provides the tools and support you need to make positive changes and improve overall well-being. The process of therapy aims to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and lead a more fulfilling life.
