Psychodynamic therapy is grounded in attachment theory, which suggests that early-life interactions with caregivers form attachment patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves and others throughout our lives. These patterns, developed unconsciously, create a familiar internal state that influences both our emotional experiences and behaviours. Psychodynamic therapy helps individuals to experience deeper self-awareness by exploring the unconscious motivations behind their actions and emotions. This therapy facilitates a client’s understanding of the root causes of their feelings, beliefs, behaviours, and interpersonal tendencies.

Psychodynamic therapy assists clients in recognising self-defeating patterns, enabling them to explore healthier, more constructive ways of engaging with themselves and others. This therapy posits that internal conflicts, arising from differing unconscious drives, can contribute to emotional struggles and mental health issues. By uncovering these hidden processes and examining how both innate internal forces and external experiences shape adult personality, clients gain the insight needed to break free from old patterns. This awareness allows for healing of unresolved feelings and subsequent improvement in mental health symptoms.
