Why does Therapy work?

*Jessica’s approach is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. This is an insight-oriented therapy.

*Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can provide lasting relief from emotional pain. It aims to deal with the root cause of symptoms rather than providing strategies to manage them.

*Jessica will help to bring into your awareness the unconscious conflicts of the mind. When our unconscious is brought into our present experience it can be understood, processed and resolved. This reduces symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
