Psychodynamic Work and Online Support
Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on exploring the deeper patterns and early relationships that influence current thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people uncover recurring themes in their emotional life and understand how past experiences can shape present difficulties, making it useful for issues such as relationship struggles, anxiety, low self-esteem and responses to trauma.Paul's psychodynamic training means he looks for the root causes of distress and works with clients to make sense of repeated patterns. His research interest in therapy with military personnel and veterans informs an understanding of how service experiences can interact with personal history and emotional responses.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Paul treats the selection of methods as a collaborative process - he will discuss options, listen to a client's goals and preferences, and adapt the approach so it fits the individual's needs.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or other commitments and allow registered professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support without requiring travel.
