What is Counselling?

Psychodynamic counselling is based on the idea that our early life experiences and relationships shape how we think, feel, and relate to others today. Together, we can gently explore:

• Patterns that repeat in your relationships

• The roots of strong feelings or behaviours that don’t make sense

• Unconscious thoughts or beliefs that may be keeping you stuck

This isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about gently exploring what’s beneath the surface, so that, whether in a few sessions or over a longer period, you can gain understanding and discover new ways of moving forward.

How I Can Help

You might be seeking counselling because something in your life feels heavy, confusing, or painful. Common concerns include:

• Repeated relationship difficulties

• Anxiety, stress, or low self-esteem

• Feeling stuck, lost, or not quite yourself

• Struggling with overwhelming or hard-to-name emotions

These experiences can leave you feeling alone or as though something is “wrong” with you. Counselling provides a safe, supportive, and confidential space to explore what you’re carrying so you don’t have to face it alone.
