Psychotherapy Brighton & Hove

My approach is psychodynamic with the psychoanalytic understanding that some of our emotional life is not easy to be in touch with, and can only gradually be revealed. The relationship with the therapist is an important context in which we can explore some of the less conscious feelings that arise, and dreams also, can be a significant part of the process. I will also help you in this collaborative process by offering a safe space with empathy and vigilance to your sensitivities as a person. In therapy with me, the aim is that you will be able to better know how early experiences influence the 'emotional present' and can effect your self-identity and your relationships. Psychotherapy is usually a commitment over a period of time and I will help you by enabling a trusting relationship where often the "unthought known", experiences which you may not have thought significant, or been aware of, may be felt and spoken about and offer a new way of thinking about your present and future.
