Most people at some point in their life experience emotional or relationship difficulties. They can sometimes be the result of childhood experiences, or more recent life events. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy provides the opportunity to explore issues within a safe and confidential environment.
Therapy offers the space to develop a greater understanding of your difficulties and to make sense of what is happening in your life. It provides the opportunity for personal development, to take greater control of your life, and to make changes for the better. Ian aims to enable you to maximise personal choice and potential, that encourages a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
Therapy may be able to help a wide variety of people in a number of areas of their lives. These include short-term problems, which are reactions to life events, as well as difficulties you may have been struggling with over a longer period of time.
