Psychodynamically-informed psychotherapy

Psychodynamically-informed psychotherapy for adults or adolescents, is an insight-oriented approach that explores why we feel, behave and respond the way we do. It explores how past experiences and unconscious factors shape our current feelings, behaviour and relationships. It looks at how early life experiences and relationships influence how we handle stress, intimacy, and conflict today. It brings automatic coping styles, defence mechanisms and relationship cycles into awareness, allowing one to make conscious choices. The safe, trusting relationship with the therapist acts as a mirror, allowing the patient to recognize and work through emotional patterns.

Instead of structured worksheets or homework, sessions are guided by whatever thoughts, feelings, or dreams the patient chooses to explore. Rather than just managing immediate symptoms, it aims to foster deeper self-awareness, healthier relationships, authenticity and lasting emotional freedom.

Adolescents are supported to work through everyday challenges, achieve improved emotional regulation, have a better sense of their personal identity and find healthy ways to separate from their parents. Parents of adolescents are involved in the process in a way that is appropriate to the adolescent’s age and needs.
