My approach is psychodynamic; this involves gaining understanding, from both the conscious and the subconscious. Short-term work involves mainly focusing on the 'here and now', where together we identify the main issues that need to be looked at. Long-term work (the ideal) allows for a deeper exploration.
The 'Psychodynamic' approach explained:
Sometimes we can become bound-up in unhelpful patterns of thinking or behaviour within our lives; patterns that we don't see, but which may unwittingly contribute to our life's hardships and struggles. Psychodynamic psychotherapy enables a greater understanding of our subconscious, which allows us to bring some of these ‘unknown’ elements to the surface, and gain a better insight into ourselves, and how we operate in the world. This understanding, in itself, eventually becomes a tool which allows us to navigate life's highs and lows with less dysfunction.
