Psychodynamic therapy ...

 

Focuses on that which is hidden from conscious awareness and notices the influence it has on your current behaviours, moods and ways of thinking. Your history affects how you perceive yourself, and how you develop and maintain a 'healthy' sense of yourself (self-esteem and worth). Exploring thoughts and feelings, in a deeply curious way, can help reveal that which is unknown helping you to become aware of, and change, repetitive patterns of behaviour that may be confusing, limiting and distressing. ​​​

 

Psychodynamic Therapy can help with issues such as melancholia, depression, acute anxiety, relationship difficulties, confusion around identity/identities, fears around loss or abandonment and certain types of addictions and can be effective for long-standing issues that significantly interfere with life, for example, getting into one unsatisfying relationship after another, repeated failure to achieve your personal and professional goals, inability to nourish your potential, a long history of anxiety and depression, a feeling of not being able to 'be yourself' or act freely and spontaneously.​​ Many types of therapy can help address specific behavioural problems, for example, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (commonly known as CBT), Psychodynamic therapy is often a better fit for people who want a more in-depth understanding and experience of their internal life.
