Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is an in-depth, non-directive and at times intensive, talking therapy. The approach is built on a trusting therapeutic relationship where emotional conflicts and inner struggles are worked through in a strictly confidential, and non-judgemental space. Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy offers to treat both the distress, as well as the underlying sources of that distress, which are often at times unknown to the person. It works with patterns of thinking, feeling, coping and relating which the client has developed throughout their life, and which are often at times uncommunicative and outside of awareness.
Using the method of ‘free association’ the client is encouraged to speak about anything that comes into their mind, no matter how unimportant or frightening they make think it is. Both the Psychotherapist and the client work together to develop insight and an understanding into oneself, which results in underlying issues being brought to attention. In turn, this enables the client to learn and understand what motivates current behaviours, outlooks and emotional turmoils they may be experiencing in their lives.
Each session lasts fifty minutes, an unlike other therapies there is no set number of sessions you must attend. You can avail of the service for as long as you feel you need to.
