“Nothing predicts the future like the past.”
The psychodynamic counselling approach looks at ways of understanding ourselves and others by making links between the past and the present.
My counselling approach has emphasis on the ways in which we relate to each other. So establishing a good therapeutic relationship is a priority. I work in a very safe, pleasant and private consulting room. I offer a gentle, empathic, non-judgemental approach. However once trust is in place I will be challenging in a sensitive and appropriate way so that you can attempt to make the positive changes that you want. By unlocking past or buried feelings - that maybe outside conscious awareness we can often free or release emotions and negative repeated behavioural patterns.
Hopefully you will start to put your history, thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns into a clearer picture and find new or refreshed meaning in your life.
Once the past begins to become clearer I often integrate additional therapeutic methods such as Narrative, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or Solution Focussed Brief Therapy (SFBT). This helps to free distressing patterns and frees you to move into a happier and more fulfilling way of being. It allows more creative flow, broadens perspective and brings more optimism to the future.
