To overcome your difficulties, you must identify their source – which often lies buried in the past. I use psychodynamic counselling to help you unearth those hidden roots and enable you to move on.
First and foremost, this involves building a therapeutic relationship between us that fosters trust. Once this is established, I can then begin to understand your world, including the impact of trauma, cultural difference, sexual orientation, disability and social context.
I help you become more aware of your emotions so you can grow to understand the connections and the relationships that have shaped you into the person you are today. By exploring new ways of connecting to others, I can help you make changes in your life.
The conclusion of a successful counselling relationship is a client who has gained a greater sense of their true self, someone who can be fulfilled in relationships, who has greater self-esteem, and a more positive outlook.
