Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is a form of talk therapy that explores how past experiences, unconscious thoughts and childhood relationships influence present behaviour. It aims to uncover hidden patterns, unresolved conflicts and emotional difficulties to support deeper understanding and long-term psychological change.
This therapy works by bringing unconscious thoughts and feelings into conscious awareness. Through reflection and discussion, clients explore recurring themes, defences and relationship dynamics. By understanding these patterns, individuals can gain insight, process emotions and make more informed choices in their lives.
Psychodynamic therapy is suitable for people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem or unresolved trauma. It is helpful for those seeking to understand themselves on a deeper level and is particularly effective for long-standing or complex emotional difficulties.
In a session, clients talk freely about thoughts, feelings, dreams and memories. The therapist listens attentively, offering interpretations and reflections to reveal underlying meaning. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and exploring emotional experiences to support insight and personal growth.
