As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist Mrs. Walters draws on psychoanalysis and psychodynamics as a way of understanding the human personality, including the way individuals interact with each other. She takes note of the unconscious mind as well as conscious attitudes as this aids the resolution of unconscious conflicts which allows for the development of a person’s full potential. The psychotherapeutic relationship is different from social relationships in that it is limited to the psychotherapy sessions. Mrs. Walters provides a confidential, safe and supportive space in which to explore past and present feelings and the meaning of past and current relationships. |
