09.01.2022 Perhaps you are feeling flat or anxious, experiencing difficulties in your relationships, exploring your identity (including gender and sexuality), or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. You may have experienced a traumatic event or a number of traumatic events throughout your life. Whatever your needs may be, we are here to offer support. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focuses on the patient therapist relationship as a tool for exploring thought...s and feelings and generating insights about the sources of one’s struggles. These insights open up new opportunities that can manifest in more satisfying connections to self and other, and greater life choices. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy aims to build internal resources which support one’s ability to manage life and relationships in a more thoughtful and regulated way. Psychological therapy involves the use of a range of techniques to treat mental health issues in a safe space. During therapy you explore your difficulties and develop healthy coping strategies to respond to challenging situations.
