Psychodynamic approaches and how online sessions can help
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on uncovering how earlier experiences and repeated relational patterns influence current feelings and actions. Through reflective conversation, clients can explore underlying emotions, attachment dynamics, and recurring themes that contribute to stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, or struggles with self-esteem.
In sessions the therapist helps create a space to notice patterns and meanings in thoughts and relationships, supporting deeper understanding rather than quick fixes. Clare works collaboratively with each person to identify which aspects of psychodynamic exploration will best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for fitting support into busy lives. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity when schedules change, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists.
