About me
People seek help from a therapist for all sorts of very different reasons. Often, these have to do with experiencing difficult or unmanageable emotions, feeling depressed or anxious. Loss, anger, loneliness, relationship difficulties, feeling confused or unfulfilled, or wanting to be happy are some of the issues that one might want explore in therapy.
Therapy allows patients a unique space in which to discuss their feelings, doubts and concerns in a confidential environment. When feeling safe, we are more likely to further develop as individuals while getting closer to our true selves. The inquiry into the unconscious mind, facilitated by the therapeutic relationship, often gives insight into issues previously unknown as well as opening up new possibilities. I have always been interested in the emotional life of individuals and how that has come to develop. I believe the way we are cared for as children has a great impact on the way we build our lives as adults.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is typically long term work and it is offered open ended, once weekly. It is also possible to meet for a fixed period of time if you prefer (6 or 12 sessions). Starting therapy is a big decision for most people, and therefore one that is not taken lightly. It is often a difficult first step. An initial consultation, however, would give you a fairly good idea as to what the experience of therapy is like, and whether you would like us to work together. To make an appointment, please call: 07828 623038 or email: tania@tpctherapy.com.
Please note, I currently have no availability in the Waterloo location.

Each weekly session lasts between 45 and 50 minutes.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy means that my way of working is informed by psychoanalytical theory and practice.
What benefits can be expected?
The exploration of the inner life of the individual, which takes place in therapy, can help to understand ourselves better and the way in which we relate to others. Over a period of time, in therapy you can expect to gain a deeper connection to your feelings and, as result, a shift in the way you relate both to others and to yourself.
