How does psychotherapy work?


You may or may not know what the problem is, or what is causing you to feel unhappy.

You may have an underlying sense of sadness or dissatisfaction.

As the relationship with the psychotherapist develops, you may discover new insights and ways of coping better with your difficulties.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy aims to reach the underlying, often unconscious causes of distress.

I will not tell you what to do or give you advice.

Together we can reflect on your life events and explore your emotional difficulties and the way you relate to yourself and others.

Talking about the difficulties in a reliable setting can help you make sense of your feelings and behaviour, gain perspective, insight and understanding.

You may discover new awareness of the causes and effects of long-standing conflicts and find a way of being that is more creative.
