I work with single people or couples who feel they have difficulties in coping with various aspects of their lives, including problems of mental health, abuse, work related stress, relationship difficulties, life changes, underlying feelings of sadness or unfulfilled potential.
Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a confidential, intensive treatment which takes place in one, two, three or four times weekly sessions aimed at resolving unconscious conflicts. The person coming for help is encouraged to use the session for reflection on his/her present and past experiences, bringing thoughts, feelings, memories, phantasies or dreams. Using psychoanalytic theory, the psychotherapist works through interpretation to understand feelings and behaviour so that the individual finds new insights to sustain him or herself.
Cost:
Assessment: £60-£65
Sessions: Once weekly £45 - £50
2/3/4 times weekly to be negotiated, normally on scale £30-£40
Students: fees negotiable
Psychodynamic Counselling
Counselling is a confidential relationship between a client(s) and counsellor, in which areas of personal difficulty and concern may be explored, worked with and resolved. The counselling offered is based on psychodynamic theory: using connections between a person's inner and outer world of experiences; the significance of their past in relation with the present and the therapeutic relationship between person and counsellor. Counselling may take place once weekly over a few sessions in a focused way, but usually is longer term. For problems arising at work a brief contact of up to six sessions may be appropriate where issues of stress or the management of change can be focussed upon.
