Psychodynamic therapy is a form of individual psychological treatment that explores how unconscious thoughts, feelings, and past experiences influence current behaviour and emotional wellbeing. Rooted in the psychological traditions of Sigmund Freud and significantly developed since, it brings awareness to hidden aspects of the mind — helping individuals understand their emotions, improve relationships, and alleviate psychological distress.
The central belief of psychodynamic therapy is that unresolved conflicts and experiences from the past continue to shape present thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — often without our awareness. Unlike approaches focused solely on symptom reduction, psychodynamic counselling addresses the root causes of emotional distress, creating deeper and more enduring change.
Psychodynamic therapy begins with a thorough assessment to understand your difficulties, personal history, and therapeutic goals. Sessions provide a safe, confidential space to explore your inner world openly and without judgment.
Key elements of individual psychodynamic therapy include:
Exploration of the Unconscious: Using free association and reflection to bring hidden thoughts, feelings, and motivations to the surface.
The Therapeutic Relationship: A safe, non-judgmental space where the relationship itself becomes a vehicle for understanding how you relate to others.
Insight and Self-Reflection: Developing awareness of unconscious conflicts and connecting past experiences to current challenges and patterns.
Pattern Recognition: Identifying recurring symbols, themes, and relational dynamics that reveal deeper psychological meaning.
Working Through Transference: Exploring how feelings from past relationships are unconsciously transferred onto the therapist — a pathway to relational healing.
Psychodynamic concerns deserve specialist care delivered with professionalism, compassion, and genuine depth of expertise. Our clients value the combination of specialist qualifications, reflective practice, and a truly non-judgmental approach that makes exploring difficult inner territory feel safe and supported.
What sets us apart:
Personal growth, self-discovery, and a more fulfilling life
