Understand, explore and manage the stress, depression and anxiety in your life
What is psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy?
A psychodynamic approach to counselling and psychotherapy is based on the view that:
-
Feelings, thoughts and patterns of behaviour can be affected by unconscious motivations and reactions.
-
That patterns of relationships in the past can be repeated and re-enacted in the present.
-
Reactions to the therapist and to the therapy can indicate past ways of relating and provide an opportunity for exploration.
- This process helps you to move on from the past, develop your capacity to change and to make new choices in your life.
Who benefits from psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy and counselling can help people understand, explore and manage distress in their lives. I work with people who are often struggling with personal, relationship and/or work issues which have resulted in stress, depression, anxiety or anger.
In addition to struggling with personal life and work some people use counselling and psychotherapy because they are also experiencing physical symptoms such as headaches or problems with eating or sleeping.
Feelings that life is empty and meaningless, an endless struggle or out of control are common reasons for seeking psychotherapy.
