I work psychodynamically, meaning we take your experiences early in life seriously and think about how they might permeate your current states of mind and relationships. But treatment isn’t about why you may be experiencing psychological pain. Childhood is a point of reference. The thing is getting hold of the complex emotions you feel – showing they can be tolerated and thought about, at first by me then increasingly by us both, and gradually brought under your control.
The regular and reliable sessions help contain situations that feel out of control quite quickly, and will rebalance you over time.
If there is one thing to take from reading this, it’s acceptance. We take feelings as they are, although they can be extremely difficult. And we take your personal history as it is, in confidence and without judgement.
