Research consistently demonstrates that psychotherapy can be highly effective with approximately 75% of people showing some improved emotional and psychological benefit (APA) . "A strong therapeutic relationship is often described as the "bedrock" of successful treatment." "2026 research results consistently indicate that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for treating common mental health conditions.
Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy
"The heart of the matter is that there are things which are difficult for us to face up to. Things which we would rather are not there. They overwhelm us, they frighten us and we feel unable to cope in all sorts of ways, with certain things."
Psychodynamic therapy is primarily tasked with enabling us to face the facts of our lives.
I am a certified, accredited & experienced psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist who will provide a confidential, non-judgmental consistent and thoughtful space, for us to talk.
One where anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and deeper (maybe chronic) psychological struggles can be understood and where lasting change becomes possible.
Who I Work With
As with a fever in the body, anxiety and depression are the most common signs of psychological illness.
You may also be:
- Emotionally stuck?
- Enduring a lifelong difficulty?
- Repeating painful relationship patterns?
- Overwhelmed despite appearing capable?
- Disconnected from yourself or others?
- At a life crossroads or facing loss?
- Successful externally but struggling internally?
Psychodynamic counselling & psychotherapy helps you understand not just what, happened or is happening — but why it continues.
What Makes This Different
Many people come to therapy having already tried to “think differently” or manage their symptoms.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy goes deeper, by focusing on the root cause/s of emotional pain.
Together we will explore:
- Early relational experiences.
- Self-criticism and internal conflict.
- Attachment dynamics.
- Unconscious patterns
- The emotional roots beneath anxiety and depression.
This depth of work can lead to sustained change — not just temporary relief.
What To Expect
After a short phone call or email exchange we will arrange an initial Consultation (50 minutes).
Here we explore what brings you to psychotherapy, your history, and what you hope might change. If we decide to work together:
- Sessions are weekly.
- Same time each week.
- Confidential and consistent.
- A protected space to think freely.
Psychotherapy is not about advice giving or quick fixes.
It is about understanding yourself in ways that allow for meaningful and enduring change.
What To Expect
I am a well established psychodynamic counsellor & psychotherapist offering:
Open-ended psychotherapy for deeper, long-term change.
