What is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy?

​The aim of psychodynamic psychotherapy is to help you to bring about positive change in your life, by enabling you to be more aware of your underlying, often unconscious, thoughts and feelings.  This is a gradual process in which your therapist listens  attentively and non-judgementally to what you bring to the session.   They aim to help you connect with your feelings, and will be alongside you in trying to make sense of your experiences. This may involve making links between your past and present: our early experiences - our childhood, our family relationships, traumatic experiences we may have undergone - are very important in forming who we are and how we interact with others.This can leave us repeating patterns that we might want to break.

Therapy tends to be longer-term, over several months. Issues that may be complex and longstanding, will take time to unravel, and make sense of. The idea of long-term therapy can be daunting, but once you start, it becomes a valued part of your week.

Sessions are at the same time each week, as it is helpful to set aside a regular space for thinking about yourself  and will help to manage the emotions that are brought up by therapy.

If you're not sure whether psychotherapy is right for you, do call or email me.
