Types of Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
What Is The Psychodynamic Therapy Definition?
Psychodynamic therapy helps you to understand how your current difficulties are influenced by your previous experiences and what is known as your ‘unconscious mind’.
A key part of psychodynamic therapy is your relationship with the therapist. By having an open and trusting relationship, this allows an individual to speak as freely as possible.

What Are The Advantages & Disadvantages Of Psychodynamic Therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy offers the advantage of exploring deep-rooted emotional patterns and unconscious conflicts, fostering long-term personal growth and self-awareness. However, it can be time-intensive and may not provide immediate solutions, making it less suitable for those seeking quick, structured interventions. In such cases, our therapists may use CBT or SFBT as more appropriate alternatives.
What Is The Difference Between Psychoanalysis And Psychodynamic Therapy?
Psychoanalysis is a more intensive form of therapy, often involving multiple sessions per week and a focus on uncovering unconscious conflicts through techniques like free association and dream analysis. Psychodynamic therapy is a less intensive approach, typically involving weekly sessions, and focuses on understanding how past experiences influence current thoughts and behaviours.
What Type Of Questions Might I Be Asked?
Your therapist may ask you questions about your childhood and what your relationship was like with your parent(s) or caregiver. This helps them to understand the difficulties you are currently experiencing and how to overcome them.
How Long Are Psychotherapy Sessions?
Psychotherapy sessions typically last 50 minutes. They can be completed on Monday to Friday from 7am to 10pm.
Are Appointments With Connect Psychology Covered By Insurance?
