Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Alda
I work with adults who are struggling emotionally, whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or a more general sense of being stuck or overwhelmed. Many of the people I see aren’t quite sure what’s wrong, or whether therapy is even the right path. That’s okay. Part of my role is to help you explore those questions in a thoughtful and compassionate way.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an open exploration of your thoughts and feelings, which leads into an uncovering of the unconscious factors that lie behind your difficulties. What we cannot face knowing about often becomes something "unconscious", which means left out of awareness, but remaining active beneath the surface, influencing our personality, so leading to intractable problems. A psychodynamic exploration provides an opportunity, and support, for learning about our whole selves at depth, so freeing up our mind to address our situation more honestly and more effectively. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is not like most other psychological therapies. It is not about solving problems or learning new skills. The scope is more profound and the process is more searching, slower and longer lasting.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help with a range of difficulties, but will be more applicable to those looking to understand and develop something within their personality in a longer term process of exploration. Psychotherapy might also be helpful to those who have found counselling useful but who are now looking to go "deeper" into things and to build sustained change in their lives. The approach may frustrate those that are looking for direct advice, or to learn specific coping strategies.
About me:
I am a psychotherapist fully qualified and insured and my work is supervised on a regular basis. I am registered with BACP as well as the BPC. I adhere to both of their strict ethical framework of good practice. I split my time between my private practice here at the Primrose Hill Practice, North London as well as working within the NHS at the Maudsley hospital. I specialise in adult psychotherapy and generally offer open ended long term therapeutic work.
If you’re unsure about what you need, I offer a brief telephone call in order to assess whether we are a good fit to work together. From there, we can decide whether ongoing therapy with me feels appropriate, or whether another route might suit you better.
Exclusions
Please note that I do not offer medico-legal services (such as reports for compensation claims).
I also do not accept Medical Insurance payments.
I do not provide a crisis service or prescribe medication.
