WHAT IS PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELLING?
Psychotherapy and Counselling provides a safe and confidential setting in which to explore
thoughts, worries, feelings, memories, dreams and fantasies.
Throughout history the therapeutic relationship has taken many forms. Its purpose has been not only to relieve suffering but to enable a person to achieve a deeper self-understanding and so begin to live more fully in the present and face the future more creatively.
I work in the
psychoanalytic tradition which seeks to understand the unconscious origins of present difficulties through our interaction with others. I draw from the works of a number of writers which include Jung, Freud, Klein, Bion and Winnicott.
Sessions last for 50 minutes and may be offered once, twice or three times a week depending on a person's needs.
