What is Psychodynamic Counselling?
Early experiences are important in shaping the way our mind works and counselling aims to help the individuals make sense of past experiences which may contribute to current problems. This is called psychodynamic counselling, which means we connect the present to the past, and focuses on the fact that many of the personal troubles in life are the result of mental processes that are hidden from us. A traumatic situation today may have its roots in the past. But we may not be conscious of the link. Psychodynamic counselling seeks to help people become aware of these subconscious processes and their connection with past events.
With a new understanding, old patterns can be challenged and blockages can be removed, thereby opening the way to fresh ways of thinking and more beneficial behaviour.
Psychodynamic counselling aims to assist people to understand how past experiences and current behaviour may be connected; it allows space for exploration of feelings and thoughts about oneself and the relationship.
