Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Muswell Hill
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a talking therapy for people who want to think about how they relate to others, and who have an awareness that their personal history impacts on how they feel about themselves. It is not directive, which means that there is no ‘agenda’; but the client needs to be willing to discuss issues from their past. The therapist allows the client to talk freely and draws attention to issues that come up. The therapist will also comment on the interaction between herself/himself and the client in the session when it is reflective of what is happening in the client’s life more generally.
The therapist helps the client to understand that we don’t always consciously recognise all of our past experiences and tendencies which may have led to problematic patterns of behaviour in our relationships. By bringing these occurrences more into conscious awareness and exploring and processing them, the client’s self-esteem and sense of personal agency in terms of improving their quality of life starts to increase. In tandem, the aim is to reduce unwanted behaviours that create obstacles in life and personal distress.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is offered by Ceri Hunter. To talk to Ceri call 0208 8834981 or email reception@muswellhealth.uk
