Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a scientifically recognised form of psychotherapy based on psychodynamic principles. It is founded on the understanding that current psychological difficulties are often linked to unconscious conflicts, relationship experiences and enduring patterns that have developed over the course of life.

At the heart of the treatment is a jointly agreed therapeutic focus. Therapy helps to gain a deeper understanding of recurring conflicts, distressing emotions and problematic relationship patterns, while developing new ways of thinking, feeling and relating to others.

Treatment usually takes place once or twice a week in face-to-face sessions and is generally limited to a defined period of time (up to 100 sessions).

This form of therapy may be particularly helpful for people experiencing:

• Depression

• Anxiety disorders

• Psychosomatic symptoms

• Low self-esteem and self-worth difficulties

• Relationship and attachment difficulties

• Recurring conflicts in personal or professional life

The aim of therapy is not only to reduce symptoms, but also to develop a deeper understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to emotional distress and psychological difficulties.
