Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is the method of working with anxieties and patterns of behavior whose origins may be unconscious. This method provides a way of understanding how the present is experienced through an appreciation of how past experiences may bear upon it.
Those who wish to understand themselves more deeply may benefit from this method. It can be especially useful for those with long standing difficulties, which may stem from early traumatic experiences.
If you would like to discuss your suitability to this type of work then please call.
Evening appointments are available.
Adolescent Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy can be very useful in helping to understand and support the experiences of adolescence and early adulthood. During this developmental phase earlier difficulties and traumas can be unexpectedly stirred up.
Providing a framework for understanding these deeper levels of anxiety, can support the processes of individuation and personal growth.
Child Psychotherapy
Child psychotherapy uses regular times and settings and the availability of the psychotherapist’s mind to establish an emotionally containing relationship in which the child’s own view of the world can be expressed, through words play and actions.
The work of the therapist is to find a way of carefully making this explicit to the child so that a shared insight into the child’s way of functioning is arrived at.
Over time this understanding can be internalised by the child so that he or she can begin to understand their own feelings and behaviour.
Left untreated children and young people may respond to people and situations in ways they do not understand and cannot control. They may also develop more serious mental illnesses in adulthood.
