The psychodynamic approach to counselling derives from psychoanalysis, the original type of talking therapy. Understanding the role that unconscious processes and early life experiences can play in one’s current life represents the core of this approach. The aim of this type of counselling is not only to help manage symptoms, but also understand why you might experience such symptoms and what they mean to you. While in therapy with me, you are encouraged to tell your own story in your own way. We will reflect on it together, often making connections between past experiences and present ones in order to gain insight into your internal world and external presentation.

By understanding the root cause of your difficulties and by becoming more aware of the underlying psychological processes, you can start feeling more in charge of your own life, as well as experience an increased sense of self-worth and well-being.
