Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic therapy is a type of talking therapy that explores the deeper patterns behind your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. By thinking about both your current experiences and your past relationships, it can help you better understand the underlying causes of present difficulties and recurring emotional patterns.
What Can I Expect From Psychodynamic Therapy
At Your Pace
Psychodynamic therapy is not usually a quick fix; it is a process that takes time, curiosity and commitment. We will work at a pace that feels manageable for you, with the aim of developing deeper understanding, creating lasting change and supporting greater emotional well-being.
Discover More About You, Your Relationships, and Interactions
Psychodynamic therapy is based on the idea that some of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are shaped by experiences and patterns that sit outside our immediate awareness. Together, we can begin to notice and understand these patterns, and explore how they may be influencing your relationships, choices and emotional life in the present.
Understanding the Past
An important part of psychodynamic therapy can be exploring earlier experiences and relationships, particularly where they seem relevant to what is happening in your life now. We may think together about how childhood and early relationships have shaped the way you relate to others, understand yourself and respond to difficult feelings, as well as the ways of coping you developed over time.
Gain Insight & Empower Change
Over time, psychodynamic therapy can help you develop a deeper understanding of why you think, feel and respond in the ways you do. Greater self-awareness can create more space for choice, helping you recognise familiar patterns and respond to yourself, your relationships and difficult situations in new ways.
