Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Therapy in Brisbane CBD
Psychodynamic Therapy in Brisbane CBD
I provide psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults at my consulting rooms on Wickham Terrace in Spring Hill (Brisbane CBD), as well as via secure telehealth across Australia.
Psychodynamic therapy is a reflective, depth-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on understanding the underlying emotional patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Rather than only addressing symptoms, this approach aims to explore the deeper experiences, relationships, and meanings that contribute to difficulties such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and recurring patterns in work or relationships.
In our work together, we meet regularly and develop a therapeutic relationship that allows space for careful thinking, emotional exploration, and the gradual development of insight. This insight is not just intellectual in nature, but more importantly emotional, deeply felt, and integrated. Over time, this process can help people understand themselves more fully, loosen long-standing patterns that no longer serve them, and develop greater freedom and flexibility in their lives. This often involves an exploration of relationships and relational experiences, dreams, fantasies, hopes, and fears.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is often suited to people who:
• want more than short-term symptom relief
• are interested in personal growth and self-understanding
• feel caught in repeating patterns
• are seeking deeper and more lasting change
