Psychodynamic Psychotherapist
About Robert Evans
Someone once said that psychotherapy is a process of introducing us to the one person we will spend our whole life with: namely our own self. This suggests that we do not necessarily know ourselves very well and that we might require some help in reacquainting ourselves with our self. It also suggests that there are things about our selves that we do not want to look at and so we turn away. We ignore and try to forget and in our forgetting we find ourselves repeating old or familiar patterns that no longer serve and support us. Until we can see the influence of the past it can be difficult to know what changes we need to make in the present. Psychotherapy is concerned with getting to the root of our obstacles and offers a way of exploring our underlying problems and difficulties that aren't so readily accessible to our usual ways of thinking.
When we meet, you can tell me about yourself and what it is that has brought you here. You may have some questions that are on your mind about how I work. I usually suggest that we arrange three initial consultations to help us both decide upon whether working together will be useful. A desire to understand yourself better, and perhaps function better in the world may be sufficient motivation to engage in psychotherapy.
I offer short-term therapy as well as longer term treatment. Individual appointments cost £70 and last 50 minutes. I can offer some reductions to students and those on low income. Sessions are held at regular intervals, at least once weekly, and sometimes more often depending on your specific situation.
