Psychodynamic Psychotherapist

Hello! I'm Donna, a registered Psychotherapist specialising in psychodynamic therapy. My journey into the world of therapy began with a deep curiosity about the human experience - how our past shapes our present and how understanding our inner world can lead to profound personal growth. My practice is rooted in empathy, insight, and a genuine desire to help you uncover the layers of your thoughts and feelings. 

In my work , I believe that each individual is a unique tapestry woven from their experiences, relationships , and emotions. My approach is collaborative and reflective, encouraging you to explore your unconscious patterns and the meanings behind your behaviours. I create a safe and supportive environment where you can express yourself freely, allowing us to work together through the complexities of your mind.

I draw upon the principles of psychodynamic theory, which emphasises the importance of early life experiences and the influence of the unconscious. Through our sessions, we will delve into your thoughts, feelings and the narratives that shape your identity, helping you gain clarity and insight into your current challenges.

In our sessions, you can expect a warm and non-judgemental space where you can be your authentic self. I encourage open dialogue and exploration. We will meet once weekly for 50 minutes and together we will identify recurring patterns in your relationships, work through unresolved conflicts, and examine how  past experiences inform your present-day behaviours and choices.

I believe that therapy is a journey, and I'm here to walk alongside you- offering support, guidance, and the occasional gentle challenge. My goal is to empower you to understand yourself better and to foster a sense of agency in your life.

I work with individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and self-esteem concerns. Whether you're  navigating life transitions, grappling with unresolved trauma, or simply seeking to understand yourself better, I am here to help.

If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, I invite you to reach out and book a consultation. This way you can see how I work and assess whether you would like us to work together to explore the depths of your experiences so you can find a more fulfilling and authentic life. I look forward to meeting you!
