Individual dynamic psychotherapy treatment

Psychodynamic psychotherapy gives you a regular time to think and talk about the feelings you have about yourself and others.

You may discuss with your therapist what's happening in your life at the moment, for example, how you do things and the part you play in what is going right or wrong for you and what may have happened in the past, and how that can effect how you're feeling thinking and behaving right now.

Your therapist will help make these connections between the past and the present and will often comment on what happens in the sessions as you talk together and this can indicate how some of the things that you feel, do and say are not driven by your conscious thoughts and feelings, but rather by unconscious feelings from your past. It is likely that if this is happening in your therapy sessions it will also be happening in your day to day life.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help you understand these connections better in order that you can make decisions based on what you want or need now, not what your past experiences drive you do.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy involves regular 50 minute meetings. These are usually weekly or more frequently if needed. The initial two consultations between yourself and Eileen will help identify problems areas which you wish to address.
