psychodynamic therapy

£300.00

Deep relational work for lasting inner change.

Psychodynamic therapy creates the ground for unearthing and reworking the unconscious beliefs, emotional wounds, and early patterns that shape how you see yourself, your body, and your place in the world.

With steady therapeutic support, you’ll begin to understand the roots of your patterns — not just manage them. In a safe, attuned space, old stories can loosen their grip, and new truths can begin to emerge.

offered through a structured six-session therapeutic arc
designed to support deeper integration alongside your wider recovery work

💡 This is not quick-fix therapy. It is slow, precise work for the parts of you that learned to survive by hiding, pleasing, controlling, or disconnecting.

FAQ

Psychodynamic therapy is a depth-based therapeutic approach. It helps you explore how past experiences, unconscious beliefs, emotional wounds, and relationship patterns may still be shaping your present life.
Eating disorders are rarely just about food or body image. They often carry deeper stories around control, safety, shame, attachment, anger, grief, and self-worth. Psychodynamic therapy gives you space to understand those roots and begin changing them from within.

Yes. Psychodynamic therapy can sit alongside nutritional, medical, psychiatric, or other therapeutic support. It is designed to deepen the emotional and relational layers of recovery, not replace essential clinical care.
