How psychodynamic work adapts to online therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and repeating themes in feelings and behaviour. It looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and can help with persistent anxieties, relationship problems, low self-esteem and emotional exhaustion.

Adrian’s relational focus means he aims to notice how interactions show up in the sessions themselves. In practice this involves talking about difficult moments, reflecting on feelings that arise in the room and deciding together what changes to try. That makes therapy a collaborative process where the client helps shape the route forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will discuss what seems most helpful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the pace and tone of sessions accordingly. This is decided together rather than imposed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier to arrange. It can also make it simpler to sustain regular appointments during life changes.
