Psychodynamic counselling is a form of therapy that focuses on the unconscious processes that drive behaviour. It is based on the belief that our current behaviour is shaped by our past or early life experiences and that our unconscious mind is the source of our motivations and behaviours. Psychodynamic counselling helps individuals gain insight into their unconscious processes and understand how these processes influence their current behaviour. It can help individuals to identify and address patterns of behaviour that are causing distress and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others
How change happens
Change happens through counselling by helping the client to identify and understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Counselling helps the client to explore their beliefs and values and to develop new ways of thinking and behaving. Counselling can also help the client to develop healthier coping strategies and to build self-esteem. Through counselling, the client can learn to make better decisions, set goals, and take action to achieve those goals. Counselling can also help the client to develop healthier relationships and to recognise their personal boundaries
What is a boundary?
A personal boundary is a set of limits that an individual sets for themselves in order to protect their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It is a way of defining what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour from others. Examples of personal boundaries include setting limits on physical contact, saying no to requests that make you uncomfortable, and setting boundaries around how much time you spend with certain people. They also help us to set limits and to communicate our needs and wants in a healthy way.
