What is Psychodynamic Counselling?

Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy is a modern model of traditional Psychoanalysis. Psychodynamic therapists believe the mind is dynamic with different forces (these forces can sometimes be opposing) working within us simultaneously at any one time. The forces within our psyche 'colour' our views of ourself and the world around us and influence the way we live our lives and the choices we make.

The Unconscious and Past Experiences

Our past experiences leave us with impressions - some we can recognise, and others have unconsciously been taken on board. When we approach new situations we bring with us our past experiences to make sense of the 'here and now'. Difficulties may arise when unhelpful patterns of behaviour/ways of relating which were instilled earlier on are then applied to the present. Psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy helps to identify unhelpful patterns so they can be recognised and thought about consciously and thus, providing us with a greater understanding of our selves and improving our ability to make the changes we desire.

How do the Sessions Work?

Sessions are normally held once or twice per week (fortnightly work is also considered), at the same time on the same day to create a stable routine and to help build trust in the process. There is not assigned homework and the therapist does not have an agenda but works directly with that which the client chooses to bring. The therapeutic relationship is believed to be a key ingredient to understanding our established patterns of relating and can be a powerful tool for helping us understand ourselves and our personal dynamics.
