What is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy?
It is a broad term that encompasses several specific types of therapy, such as psychoanalysis, object relations therapy, attachment-based therapy, and time-limited dynamic psychotherapy, among others.

By examining these underlying factors, individuals can gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, ultimately leading to personal growth, enduring self-awareness, and improved mental health. Psychodynamic therapy offers a rich and nuanced understanding of an individual's inner world, addressing a wide range of emotional and relational issues through its various modalities.
Psychodynamic therapy is a comprehensive therapeutic approach rooted in the exploration of unconscious processes, early life experiences, and the dynamics of interpersonal relationships.
