FAQs
What can therapy help with?
Therapy can provide support with a wide range of emotional difficulties, including anxiety, stress, low mood, relationships, bereavement, self-esteem, life transitions, and feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. It can also offer space for deeper self-understanding and reflection.
What is psychodynamic therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may influence present thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we aim to develop a greater understanding of these patterns and create space for meaningful and lasting change.
Do I need to be in crisis to come to therapy?
Not at all. Many people seek therapy simply because something no longer feels quite right, or because they would like a space to think, reflect, and better understand themselves. You don’t need everything fully defined before reaching out.
Are the sessions confidential?
Therapy sessions are confidential and provide a private space to speak openly and safely. There are, however, some limited exceptions surrounding serious concerns for your safety or the safety of others, which can be discussed further during our initial work together.
Is it possible to work online for our sessions?
Yes. Sessions are available both online and in person, depending on availability and individual preference. Online therapy can offer a flexible and effective way of working together from the comfort of your own space.
What is different about Psychodynamic counselling vs. other types of therapy, such as Humanistic or Person-centred?
Psychodynamic counselling focuses on understanding the deeper, often unconscious patterns that shape how we think, feel, and relate to others. It looks at how past experiences - particularly early relationships - may still be influencing the present.
In contrast, approaches such as Humanistic or Person-centred therapy tend to focus more on the here-and-now, offering a supportive space to explore current thoughts and feelings. Both can be very effective, but psychodynamic work places a stronger emphasis on gaining insight into underlying patterns and long-standing emotional themes, ultimately, resulting in deeper and longer term change.
