What is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy?

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a deep and insightful approach to mental health that explores how past experiences, unconscious thoughts, and unresolved emotions shape our present lives.

Rooted in the work of Sigmund Freud and later developed by modern psychoanalysts, this therapy helps individuals gain self-awareness and resolve inner conflicts for lasting emotional growth.

How Does Psychodynamic Therapy Work?

Unlike short-term, solution-focused therapies, Psychodynamic Therapy goes beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover deeper emotional patterns.

By exploring unconscious beliefs, early life experiences, and relationship dynamics, you can gain a clearer understanding of your emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

Key elements of Psychodynamic Therapy include:

  • Understanding hidden emotions and patterns that influence daily life.

  • Recognising how childhood relationships and experiences shape present behaviors.

  • Examining how past and present relationships impact emotions and interactions.

  • Developing a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and motivations.

What Can Psychodynamic Therapy Help With?

Psychodynamic Therapy is beneficial if you are struggling with:

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Trauma and unresolved emotions

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Low self-esteem and self-worth

  • Emotional patterns and repetitive life struggles
