Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy encourages you to develop awareness of your emotions and process unresolved feelings. It's a form of analytic investigation of the unconscious mind to gain self-awareness and help access and interpret  your thoughts and personal history.

Analytical or psychodynamic psychotherapy is a modern, more systematic version of psychoanalysis.

What we cannot remember,
reveals what we are incapable of forgetting.

Although both psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis explore unconscious influences, psychodynamic therapy is a more flexible, interactive and brief approach, focusing on specific emotional patterns, than the long-term, profoundly transformative process of traditional psychoanalysis. It's a form of psychotherapy aimed at those who wish to unravel the deeply buried conflicts they suffer from by becoming aware of the unconscious mechanisms conditioning their reactions. It is best suited to introspective people who wish to explore things in depth.

It's in the context of our relationships with others that we learn to love and understand ourselves.

benefits of psychodynamic therapy

We reflect on what happens to us in order to understand and transform it.

In psychodynamic therapy, we learn that no problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. It is an analytical technique and a modern form of psychoanalysis for exploring the unconscious, the uncharted territory where truth is found and convictions are dispelled.

Resolving unconscious conflicts

Psychodynamic therapy explores buried memories and repressed unconscious patterns that manifest themselves in our symptoms.

Negotiating our identity

Our greatest illusion or delusion is to believe that we are what we think we are. Psychodynamic therapy helps reveal our deepest desires.

Rewriting the narrative of your past

We constantly negotiate our identity in the context of our relationships and in the light of the narrative we tell about our past.
