Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is an evidence-based form of therapy which can effectively treat emotional problems and a wide range of mental health conditions. This therapy addresses underlying issues and causes, often from your past, which may be concerning you or affecting your relationships with others. It is interested in how aspects of the unconscious mind may in fact be driving current issues in your life, or can be in conflict with other needs, wishes or feelings.

In your sessions you will be encouraged to talk freely and to look deeper into your problems and worries. It differs from many other talking therapies in that it aims to help people make deep-seated change in personality and emotional development, alongside relieving troubling symptoms. It can help you discuss feelings you have about yourself and other people, particularly family and those close to you.

Some people seek help for specific reasons, such as trauma, eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties. Some seek help for underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or in marriage, or for an inability to form satisfactory relationships. It may benefit anyone.
