Psychodynamic Therapy in St Albans & Online
Hello, I’m Rebecca Noorian, a Psychodynamic Counsellor and Therapist based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
Starting counselling or therapy is a significant step towards meaningful change and an opportunity to feel supported. There are times in our lives when we realise our old ways of coping no longer work and we need to find a new way forward.
Counselling and therapy offers a space to slow down, to be listened to, perhaps for the first time. When someone listens without judgement, it can help you speak freely and openly about your life. Therapy is a space and time where you don’t have to look after anyone else – it’s about you.
We can’t rewrite the past but therapy can help you understand and relate to the past in a new way – one that feels lighter so it no longer weighs so heavily on the present. You will feel more confident in facing lifes challenges and more free to live life your own way.
You might have spent a long time thinking about starting therapy for the first time, or perhaps you are returning having had a previous experience. Either way I understand it can feel daunting to begin and you may have many questions about how it works. I am always happy to answer those questions which is why I offer a free 20 minute introductory call. We can do this either online or the telephone from anywhere in the UK.
How Counselling or Therapy Can Help
Starting counselling or therapy offers you a reliable place to reflect on your life and over time reach a deeper understanding of yourself. You will gain clarity on both past and present situations. It can provide relief from difficult feelings within a supportive space. Your relationship with yourself will improve and the judegements you might place on yourself will loosen their grip. Therapy can help you create more authentic and stronger bonds with others and help you in making any changes you might want for your life.
You and Your Counsellor or Therapist
Research consistently shows that the strongest predictor of successful therapy is the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. Naturally it can take time to feel comfortable talking to someone new but from the start it should always feel like a non-judgemental place for you to talk about whatever you choose.
Counselling or Therapy
You might hear the terms counselling and therapy used interchangeably though they can feel a little different in practice. Counselling often means shorter-term support, focused on specific challenges you are facing right now. Therapy, especially psychodynamic therapy usually involves a deeper, longer-term process to explore your emotions and patterns.Whether you need focused short-term help or a more in-depth process – I can support you. Your needs may change over time, and together we can work out what is best for you.
