I believe that psychotherapy is a commitment that requires time and space to gently think things through. I work primarily in a psychodynamic way, letting you take the lead whilst creating an environment of warmth, empathy and understanding.
The psychodynamic frame aims to offer a holistic treatment approach and a more thorough examination of the self. It is a way of thinking about ourselves and also ourselves in relation to others, allowing the opportunity to explore behavioural patterns and relationships where it might feel helpful.
A ‘psychodynamic perspective’ recognises how current feelings can be linked to earlier life experiences. As a ‘talking therapy’ this can help us to understand how difficulties from the past can impact our present, therefore affecting our day-to-day habits, emotions, behaviours, relationships and our physical & mental health.
