Why and how psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy works?
It is a rare opportunity in our lives to have someone to be there just for you.
It helps you to identify life-long patterns and anxieties that are unhelpful and understanding why they exist in the first place.
By bringing them to the surface and understanding them, these patterns can be broken, longer-lasting change can occur, and life can feel less stuck.
Why do we meet on the same day at the same time every week?
