Working Psychodynamically Online - Flexible Care
Sara uses psychodynamic therapy to help clients explore how early experiences, unconscious patterns, and emotional responses shape current relationships and behaviours. This approach encourages reflection on recurring themes in thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for addressing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and long-standing patterns of coping.
Alongside psychodynamic work, Sara offers a supportive, person-centred style that prioritises a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship. This practical support helps people process immediate distress while also exploring deeper emotional material over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sara works with each person to identify goals and preferences, adapting the balance of reflective psychodynamic exploration and practical support to suit their needs. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most useful.
Online therapy modalities - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for busy lives and for those who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into varied schedules, and choose the format that best supports comfort and engagement with the therapeutic process.
