Psychodynamic Counselling Therapy: What is it?

Psychodynamic Counselling Therapy

The origin of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy can be traced to Freud’s work and through Psychoanalysis and many see little difference between the Psychodynamic models and Classical Psychoanalysis in terms of techniques, and particularly with regard to the Analytic Psychotherapy model.
