Psychotherapy
Starting therapy can feel daunting, and people come to it for various reasons.
At times it is because life feels overwhelming or perhaps relationships with others have become painful. Some may feel stuck in repeating patterns whist others might sense a vague but profound dissatisfaction that is hard to articulate. For some, it can be specific events, such as a significant loss, starting or ending an intimate relationship, or navigating major life changes.
These difficulties often lead to a range of emotions, including hopelessness, anxiety, anger, detachment, and confusion. Additionally, some individuals may place unrealistic and harsh expectations on themselves. It's important to remember that everyone is different and unique in their experiences, and psychotherapy is a personalized journey that unfolds at ones own pace.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy utilises psychoanalytical ideas and focuses on the unconscious causes of problems and conflicts. It is a talking therapy based in whatever comes to your mind, that helps you become aware of hidden meanings or patterns in what you do or say that may contribute to your problems.
Through understanding these connections and patterns therapy can: bring relief, reduce confusion about what helps and what doesn’t, identify changes that can be made in your life and help you come to terms with what can’t be changed.
