Psychodynamic counselling is a type of talking therapy that can give you a space to make sense of your interpersonal difficulties.
Psychodynamic theory suggests that experiences of significant people in our childhood form how we see ourselves and others and continue to influence us throughout our lives.
Therapy offers you an opportunity to explore some of these experiences and understand how they are impacting you and your relationships today.
3 key areas are focused on to identify patterns in the ways you relate to others;
1) Childhood experiences with parents or care givers, to identify where these patterns may have originated.
2) Current relationships, such as friendships, partners and work colleagues to understand how these patterns may have manifested in the present.
3) The relationship between you and the therapist is used to further understand how you relate to people and the feelings and responses you may bring out in others.
