What is Psychodynamic Counselling?

Psychodynamic counselling focuses on how unconscious thoughts and past experiences, particularly those from childhood, influence present behaviour, emotions, and relationships. The aim of psychodynamic counselling is to bring these unconscious patterns into conscious awareness, allowing you to better understand yourself and make meaningful changes in your life.

A central concept in psychodynamic counselling is that early life experiences shape our inner world and psychological development. For example, unresolved conflicts or unmet emotional needs from childhood may continue to affect the way a person relates to others, handles stress, or perceives themselves. By exploring these issues, you can gain insight into how past experiences impact your current life and relationships.

Psychodynamic counselling is particularly effective for those seeking to understand the roots of long-standing emotional difficulties, relationship issues, or repeated patterns of behaviour.
