Individual Therapy

The power of psychotherapy is hard to overestimate. It can provide an important space and safe relationship in which we can heal from our wounds, connect with ourselves and our direction in life, and gain a greater understanding of how we wish to go about our lives. However, much psychotherapy in the modern age stops at the symptoms that brought us to therapy.

How I work aims to go beyond these initial symptoms, to help develop greater understanding and resilience to all that the journey of life throws our way. It is rare that our primary reasons for seeking psychotherapy exist in a vacuum. They often intersect with many aspects of our lives, both past and present. By looking deeper we enable ourselves to gain a skillset we can cary throughout our lives.

Psychodynamic therapy provides this vehicle for understanding. Generations of research have brought us what is essentially the modern great grandchild of Freud’s original discovery; that much of what directs us in life is outside of the awareness of our conscious waking self. Since his inception, clinical research has reinforced this premise, and the power that understanding these patterns in transforming our lives.
