At a Glance

Psychodynamic counselling is a therapeutic approach that explores how past experiences, particularly those from early life, influence current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. By bringing unconscious patterns into awareness, it helps individuals gain insight and make meaningful changes in their emotional lives and relationships.  

Short-term psychodynamic counselling may last between 12 and 24 sessions, while long-term psychodynamic counselling can continue for a year or more. Sessions are typically held once per week, and last 50 minutes. Overall, psychodynamic counselling will vary in length depending on individual needs and goals. 

• Initial consultation: £45
