ANALYTICAL PSYCHOTHERAPY 

​IMPROVING SOCIAL

WELL-BEING

THE INTERVENTION

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis is a talk based therapeutic intervention that specifically focuses on unconscious impulses, drives and processes; the part of the mind that leads you to repeatedly doing the things that you do not want to do, and the disruption of positive progression in the things that you do want to do.

 

This unconscious hidden and difficult to identify, internal conflict disturbs thinking and manifests in unwanted behaviours and actions which leaves one feeling hurt, confused, frustrated, angry and even bewildered which over time gives rise to extraordinary worries and anxieties, paranoia and panic attacks, compulsions, obsessions, addictions, isolation and depression and can even manifest in the form of physical illness. Effectively addressing and eradicating these symptoms is my chosen field of expertise.

WHEN YOU ARE READY

It can take courage to recognise that you have difficulties and need help. It can take even more courage to make the first step to do something about it. When you are ready, I am ready to listen and to assess your situation and provide you with some options via an exploratory consultation: Where worry, stress and anxiety are replaced with an inner calm and peace: Where anger and frustration become manageable and contentment can be experienced in daily living.
 

THE PROCESS

The unconscious, unlike the rational mind, does not understand time, space and objectivity; that is to say the sensory world as is perceived. Therefore, to address issues at the unconscious level requires a dynamic therapeutic intervention one which establishes a working alliance, one that can encourage the observation, identification and surfacing of these otherwise unobservable impulses, drives and inner conflicts which can then be analysed, interpreted and understood bringing about psychic change and resolution. The challenge to the work requiring the dynamic approach are the various mechanisms deployed unwittingly by the mind to avoid the revelation of experience. These mechanisms do not originate in rational conscious perception more-so irrational unconscious impulse.
