Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a type of psychotherapy which focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in a person's present behavior. It emphasizes the importance of the unconscious mind and past experiences in influencing current behavior. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is based on the belief that increased understanding of these past experiences can help an individual to resolve current conflicts and symptoms, thus leading to improved psychological functioning. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can be used to treat a range of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It can also help to improve overall psychological functioning, leading to increased self-awareness, better self-regulation and more positive relationships with others.
