Susan Kernohan BA (Hons), PG Dip, MBACP
I offer psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy based in Glasgow
My Approach
Psychodynamic therapy uses self-reflection and self-examination along with a focus on the relationship between therapist and client as a way of exploring our way of being in relationships; our patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings.
It is not a symptom focused therapy. Instead it focuses on how our past shapes our present and, potentially, our future. Exploring these echoes from the past, allows insights to emerge, helping you to understand why you feel and behave in a certain way and how this might impact your relationships.
The goal of psychodynamic therapy is to develop a deeper understanding, getting to the root of the issue and providing the opportunity to create long-lasting change. It is about moving from the learned coping mechanisms which have allowed you to survive towards healthier choices which will allow you to thrive.
How It Works
The psychodynamic process allows you to talk freely about whatever comes to mind, letting things emerge at your pace and then exploring what they mean together.
It is a subtle, deep and valuable process of exploring, developing awareness and coming to know your inner world. Some clients will come for a few weeks, others month and some for years.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute call with prospective new clients to explore working together.
If you decide to progress with therapy, we will meet face to face on the same day, at the same time for 50 minutes each week.
