I offer two ways of working

Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT)
A treatment course of 16 sessions, where DIT is used to help identify and treat anxiety and depression, which may be caused by emotional and relationship difficulties.

DIT helps us look at the difficult things that may have happened in your past, which could continue to affect the way you feel and behave today. It may help you understand how you see yourself, and how you think others might see you. It could also help look at how you connect with others (your attachment style) – whether that’s with friends, family or someone you’re in a relationship with.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PDT)
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (open ended), where I aim to facilitate a judgement free and safe environment, for us to think and work collaboratively in a time scale that suits you. The focus is to identify and understand emotional, and behavioural patterns that are troublesome; and in doing so, address what can often be deeply emotionally rooted. The length of the therapy is discussed together as we proceed.

What is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy?
There are many different approaches to psychotherapy, such as, 'humanistic', 'person centred', 'integrative' and 'psychodynamic'. My approach to psychotherapy is from a psychodynamic perspective, which has its roots in psychoanalysis (Freud et. al), where experiences from the past may influence your present life.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help further understand how these current feelings and behaviour are shaped by past experiences. These patterns have often been developed unknowingly. The aim is to identify and understand some of these patterns and feelings, so to gain a fuller understanding of what may be going on for you in your current life.
