How can Psychodynamic therapy help?
Psychodynamic therapy looks at the unconscious mind and aims to process unresolved conflicts and past trauma that may be at the root of your anxiety. Unlike other forms of therapy that focus explicitly on the present and managing symptoms, psychodynamic therapy recognises the importance of getting to the root of your anxiety. By looking at your early experiences, I can hopefully help you gain insight on how your past is impacting your present behaviours.
The therapeutic relationship can be both unique and transformative. It provides a foundation for self-exploration, personal growth and relief from anxiety.
We can meet face-to-face or alternatively; I offer anxiety counselling online.
