What is Psychodynamic Counselling?
My work as a counsellor is based on the psychodynamic model. This has its roots in the psychoanalytic tradition.As well as offering an emotionally supportive atmosphere, I work with my clients to identify and understand patterns in their thoughts, feelings and behaviour. This can involve making links between current experiences and also sometimes with the past. Some attention is also paid to looking at how unconscious thoughts and feelings may affect how you currently feel and how you relate to others.
What are the Benefits of Counselling?
The experience of exploring your thoughts and feelings with another individual can relieve your sense that you are entirely alone with your problems.Greater self knowledge and understanding can enhance your relationship with your self and others and improve your sense of choice and self esteem. This in turn can cultivate the feeling that life can be enjoyed rather than endured.
