ISTDP  (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Therapy)

I practice a model of therapy called ISTDP, which can help you to rapidly understand the source of the symptoms that cause you distress and impact your daily life such as heightened anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and somatised disorders.

This is an accelerated form of dynamic psychotherapy that focuses on processing emotional blockages and changing maladaptive response patterns which are responsible for symptoms such as anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

However, ISTDP differs from most traditional counselling or psychotherapy in that it is more active and emotionally focused, with the therapist being more pro-active during the session. It is this activity and focus that leads to a more rapid change and in a shorter period of time than traditional therapies.
