At its heart, Psychodynamic counselling is about helping people become free from the impact of past experiences, so they can live more fully in the present (Shedler, J., 2010). This idea sits at the centre of my work and shapes how I approach therapy with every client.
Psychodynamic counselling is based on the understanding that many of our current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are shaped by earlier life experiences—especially those from childhood. These early experiences can stay hidden in our unconscious, but still quietly influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and cope with challenges.
For example, someone who didn’t feel truly heard or understood growing up might find it hard to speak up in relationships as an adult, even if they don’t fully realise why. By becoming more aware of these underlying patterns, we can begin to understand where they come from and work towards lasting change.
The relationship between us is central to the therapy. When you feel safe, supported, and understood, it becomes possible to face painful or confusing emotions. While this can take time and isn't always easy, it often leads to meaningful growth, healing, and change.
I offer sessions online via Google Meet and, from September 2025, also in person at The Old Rectory Clinic in Iron Acton.
My role is to support and guide you as we explore your inner world—always at your pace, and always with care and respect.
