Therapy service
At Edinburgh Centre for Psychodynamic Therapy, our therapy service is dedicated to enhancing access to long-term therapy within the existential psychodynamic approach. We believe in the significance of providing affordable and sustainable mental health support to individuals seeking deeper self-exploration and personal growth. Our skilled therapists integrate existential principles with psychodynamic techniques to help clients navigate existential dilemmas, unresolved conflicts, and inherited patterns that may be hindering their well-being. Through a compassionate and reflective therapeutic process, we strive to cultivate a safe and supportive environment where individuals can engage in meaningful exploration and achieve lasting transformation.

Our approach
Psychodynamic therapy is a modern version of psychoanalysis based on the school of object relations. It looks at the unconscious relational processes between us and finds links between what you're experiencing in the present and your early childhood and family experiences. We also use the existential lens which considers the existential challenges of being human which relate to death, meaning, freedom, and isolation.
* Please note, we appreciate that our fee may still present a barrier for some, but we are committed to lowering our fee every year as soon as we are in a financial position to subsidise it further. As a new organisation, this is unfortunately the lowest we can offer at the moment, which is significantly lower than current therapy prices in Edinburgh, but we encourage you to fill out our survey through the link at the top of the website where you can inform us of what would be a doable fee for you.
