Psychodynamic counselling offers a pathway to self-discovery, guiding you to uncover hidden aspects of yourself and gain deeper insights into your life and challenges. By bringing the unconscious to conscious awareness, we aim to shed light on the roots of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Exploring past experiences can be emotionally hard, yet it is through this process that we unravel the threads connecting present difficulties to past events, particularly in childhood. Together, we navigate these sensitive territories, seeking to understand how unconscious thoughts and feelings influence your current emotional and psychological landscape.
Recognised for its long-term approach, psychodynamic therapy acknowledges that meaningful change unfolds gradually over time. It's important to understand that counselling is not a quick fix; rather, it's a collaborative journey requiring dedication and effort from both client and counsellor. Despite its challenges, the therapeutic process holds transformative potential, offering the opportunity to make incremental shifts in self-defeating patterns and emotions like sadness, fear, anger, and pain, ultimately leading to profound and lasting change.
"Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength."
