Welcome to SpeakFreely

Psychodynamic therapy is primarily used to treat depression and other serious psychological disorders, especially in those who have lost meaning in their lives and have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships but also supporting those with mild symptoms that may be equally causing distress.  

In psychodynamic psychotherapy, you can expect a safe containing space where anything can be said and thought about meaningfully. 

Together we will explore significant life experiences and think together about their impact on your life and relationships. 

The first consultation is a space for us to begin exploring what has brought you to seek therapy at this point in your life. It’s an opportunity to reflect on your concerns, consider what you might be hoping for from the process, and to think together about whether psychodynamic psychotherapy feels like the right approach for you.

This initial meeting also gives you a sense of what it might be like to work with me and to experience the therapeutic setting. We’ll begin to consider how we might work together, and whether a short-term or open-ended framework may be most helpful.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is not suited to everyone. It involves a thoughtful, in-depth exploration of how early relationships and experiences may shape present-day emotional life, including how these patterns may emerge within the therapeutic relationship itself. If, after our meeting, it feels appropriate to proceed, we can make a plan together that supports your needs.
