Psychological Services

Owen’s theoretical framework is Psychodynamic.

  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focuses on gaining insight into how your mind works and affects your relationships through exploring your inner world and uncovering previously unconscious thoughts and emotions. It also facilitates you experiencing how your relational patterns and issues repeat in the patient-therapist relationship and working through these to build more adaptive ways of relating to others.

Sessions with Owen have a psychodynamic structure.

  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy sessions run for 50 minutes.

  • Sessions will focus exclusively on you with no self-disclosure from Owen.

  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focuses on internalised patterns of relating to others and their origins, what arises in the patient-therapist relationship, and to the role defence mechanisms play in perpetuating relational problems.
