Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Adults

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I offer individual therapy to adults looking to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours in a safe and supportive environment. I aim to help clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships and to work towards greater self-awareness and personal growth.

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in a psychodynamic framework, which emphasizes the importance of exploring unconscious processes, developmental issues, and the role of early childhood experiences in shaping current behaviour patterns. Effective psychotherapy is a collaborative process where the therapist and client work together to create a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore complex thoughts and feelings.

Our therapy sessions will explore various topics, including relationship patterns, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I will work with you to identify underlying patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and to help you develop new insights and perspectives on your life experiences.

My approach is empathetic, non-judgmental, and supportive, and I strive to create a safe space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their emotions and experiences. Whether you are dealing with a specific issue or are looking to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, I am here to help you on your journey towards greater self-awareness and personal growth.

Mental Health Assessment

As an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist, I offer mental health assessments as an essential first step in improving mental health and well-being. My goal is to provide a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of a client's mental health status, to identify potential mental health concerns and provide appropriate treatment recommendations.

A mental health assessment typically involves an initial interview with the client to gather information about their personal history, mental health symptoms, and any relevant environmental factors impacting their mental health. I may also utilize standardized psychological tests or questionnaires to assess the client's mental health status further.

Through this assessment process, I can identify potential mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health disorders. I can also assess the severity and impact of these concerns on the client's daily life and functioning.

Once the assessment is complete, I will provide the client with a comprehensive report summarizing the findings and treatment recommendations. These recommendations may include individual therapy, CBT therapy,  or other forms of mental health treatment as appropriate.

A thorough mental health assessment is essential to improving mental health and well-being. By identifying potential mental health concerns and providing appropriate treatment recommendations, I can help clients achieve better mental health outcomes and lead more fulfilling lives..

Clinical Supervision

As a psychodynamic clinical supervisor, I aim to provide a supportive and enriching environment for fellow psychotherapists to develop and enhance their clinical skills. I offer clinical supervision to help therapists navigate the complexities of the therapeutic process, gain insight into their countertransference reactions, and guide them on using transference and countertransference as therapeutic tools effectively.

My approach to clinical supervision is grounded in a psychodynamic framework, emphasizing the importance of unconscious processes, developmental issues, and the therapeutic relationship. I believe adequate clinical supervision is a collaborative process where the supervisee and I work together to create a safe and supportive space to explore clinical issues, reflect on clinical practice, and gain insight into the therapist's emotional responses to the therapeutic work.

Our supervision sessions will explore various topics, including case conceptualization, treatment planning, interventions, ethical considerations, and self-care. My goal is to help you better understand the therapeutic process and provide support and guidance as you navigate the challenges of clinical practice.

I offer individual and group supervision sessions and am committed to creating a supportive and respectful learning environment.
