Sarah | Psychodynamic Counsellor
Psychodynamic Counselling Tunbridge Wells
Therapy is a collaborative approach. There is no advice or agenda.I work with how your past experiences and relationships have shaped your internal world. I also help you explore your unconscious mind's affect on negative thought patterns - your thoughts unknown.
My work with adults covers a broad range of presenting problems where psychodynamic therapy can be helpful.
This can include: parenting or relationship issues, family conflict, bereavement and grief, significant life changes including menopause, adverse childhood experiences and trauma, relationship to food, self-esteem, shame, anger and managing stress.
My work with adults is open-ended as it can take time to heal and allow ourselves to explore emotional depths we have kept hidden. By keeping a time fixed for you each week enables you to come to therapy for as long as it feels useful to you.
I also work with young people (16 years+) struggling with low mood, emotional dysregulation and self-injurious behaviours.
