About psychotherapy and analytical psychology
Psychotherapy can be helpful at many different points in life. Some people seek therapy in response to a specific difficulty or crisis, while others come with a more general sense that something is not quite right.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy and analytical psychology is concerned with understanding emotional experience in depth. It offers space to reflect on thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and to consider how past experiences may be influencing present ways of being.
What psychotherapy involves
Sessions take place at a regular time and provide a consistent and confidential space for reflection. There is no set agenda, and therapy is shaped by what the individual brings.
Over time, psychotherapy may help to bring greater awareness to emotional patterns and unconscious processes, allowing for change to emerge gradually. The work is collaborative and develops at a pace that is individual to each person.
Issues I work with in psychotherapy
People come to psychotherapy for many different reasons. You may be experiencing a specific difficulty, or a more general sense that something does not feel quite right. I work with adults who are seeking to explore emotional and relational concerns in depth: including:
- Anxiety and feelings of unease
- Low mood, loss of meaning, or emotional flatness
- Relationship difficulties, including patterns that feel hard to change
- Experiences of loss, change, or transition
- Difficulties with self-esteem or identity
- Recurrent emotional or relational struggles
- A sense of feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected
- A wish for deeper self-understanding
Some people come to psychotherapy at a time of crisis, while others arrive with a quieter but persistent sense that something needs attention. You do not have to have a clear problem in mind – we can take time to think together about what has led you to seek therapy.
