Psychodynamic and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. It helps people explore recurring patterns, emotional reactions, and underlying feelings to gain greater self-understanding.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centres on working with the effects of traumatic events and abuse. It involves approaches that help people process distressing memories and reduce the ways those experiences interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Poonam will collaborate with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to continue care across location changes, and to choose a format that feels most comfortable for the individual. Registered professionals and therapists can use these formats to provide consistent, accessible support.
