Psychodynamic Counselling in Thrussington, Leicester

I work Psychodynamically, which can feel different to other therapies, like CBT. My approach is to work at your pace, exploring what you feel is coming up for you, sometimes noticing patterns and making connections to other aspects of your life. Our sessions are confidential and they offer a space where you can gently explore what’s on your mind and what’s going on for you in your life, in a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere. Often people describe feeling ‘held’ emotionally in these sessions, where feelings can be felt, and contained.

The sessions also provide the opportunity for some gentle challenge to help us to see what might not have been thought about or noticed before and to explore how your past is coming through in your current life, in a way that may no longer be helpful. I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment, with someone from outside your day-to-day life. Together we can explore your situation in a way that leads to fresh perspectives — and perhaps a new understanding of yourself.
