About me
hi thank you for taking the time to view my profile
I am an experienced psychodynamic therapist accredited with The National Counselling Society (NCS) and a Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist (DIT) known as a DIT practitioner.
DIT practitioners meet the following criteria:
*Will have undertaken a course of study that includes knowledge about psychoanalytic developmental theory and the theory underpinning the rationale for psychodynamic interventions
*Will have undertaken a minimum of one year of personal psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy or counselling
*Will have undertaken a minimum of 150 hours of supervised psychodynamic practice
*Will be HPC, BACP, BPC or UKCP registered
So what is DIT ?
It is a 16 session psychodynamic therapy model for depression & anxiety which is NICE recommended. It explores difficult past relationships that can continue to affect the way we feel and behave in the present.
How does it work?
The Main Focus of the Work In DIT will be to help you to identify a recurrent pattern in your relationships which occurs in more than one relationship past and present.
The first few sessions of DIT therapy will focus on understanding the nature of the relationships in your life and look for areas where you may be feeling stuck.
You will agree on an area of change you would actively like to work on in
your relationships and identify how you would like to make changes.
Between sessions you are invited and expected to modify behaviours as discussed during therapy, and encouraged to observe how these changes are impacting on the important relationships in your lives.
The final sessions provide an opportunity for us to reflect on everything learned and develop an understanding of how these new insights can continue to make a lasting difference in your life
Our therapeutic relationship may also become a focus of the work we do together, this is to help support you through key 'current' conflicts as it is both insight-oriented and affect focused.
The main focus in DIT is on recognising difficult feelings in significant relationships and stressful situations, and identifying how
patterns can be repeated and how to modify these.
DIT is usually offered at step 3 in NHS talking therapies but is not currently offered in Cornwall.
