Psychodynamic Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that delves deep into the unconscious mind to explore past experiences, emotions, and beliefs that may be influencing current behaviours and relationships. Rooted in the principles of Freudian psychology, this therapeutic approach focuses on increasing self-awareness and understanding the impact of early life experiences on present-day functioning.

Psychodynamic Therapy for Addiction
Addiction can take many forms, from substance abuse to behavioural addictions such as gambling or shopping. My Psychodynamic Therapy approach recognises that addiction often stems from underlying emotional pain or unresolved trauma. By addressing these core issues in a safe and supportive environment, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms and break free from the cycle of addiction.
Psychodynamic Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression can significantly impact one's quality of life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Through Psychodynamic Therapy, I will work collaboratively with clients to explore the root causes of their symptoms, including past traumas, negative thought patterns, or unresolved conflicts. By gaining insight into these underlying issues, individuals can learn to manage their symptoms more effectively and experience greater emotional well-being.
Psychodynamic Therapy for Trauma and PTSD
Experiencing trauma can leave a lasting imprint on a person's psyche, leading to symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Taking a Psychodynamic Therapy approach provides a safe space for individuals to process their traumatic experiences, make sense of their emotions, and develop healthy coping strategies for moving forward.
Psychodynamic Therapy for Eating Disorders
Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are complex conditions that often stem from deeper psychological issues related to body image, self-esteem, and control. Through Psychodynamic Therapy, we help individuals explore the underlying emotions and beliefs driving their disordered eating behaviours, fostering a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.
Psychodynamic Therapy for Bereavement and Grief
Losing a loved one can be one of life's most challenging experiences, leaving individuals feeling lost, alone, and overwhelmed by grief. Our Psychodynamic Therapy approach acknowledges the complex emotions associated with bereavement and provides a supportive space for individuals to process their feelings, find meaning in their loss, and gradually adjust to life without their loved one.
