Donna Mendel

I currently have availability on Friday at 2pm 

I practice Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, this type of therapy aims to explore unresolved conflicts and issues from the past that may be influencing your current thoughts, emotions and behaviours. It often involves exploring early childhood experiences and relationships to gain insight into patterns of behaviour and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

I will be non-judgemental and accept you unconditionally. My aim is to empower you to find your own resilience and direction in life. The skills needed to live a contented life lie within everyone , and I will support you in locating them. My role is to provide a confidential and safe place for you to discover your true self, not to offer a 'cure'. 

I consider the therapeutic relationship to be a key factor in the effectiveness of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and one important aspect is the formation of an emotional connection, This emotional bond can provide a supportive environment for exploring difficult emotions, resolving conflicts, and promoting healing. 

I understand that taking the first step, making the call to enquire can be scary, so I offer a free no obligation 15 minute introductory call for us to discuss your needs and for you to ask any pending questions. If you wish to proceed, I will offer you an initial consultation either online or in person to gain insight into your history and your hopes and expectations for therapy. If we mutually feel we are able to work together, we can agree on a weekly appointment time and date to start. I can work with both a time limited or open- ended capacity, this is something will will assess together.
