Philippa Devas

I am a psychotherapist offering psychodynamic psychotherapy, which can help reveal. the conscious and unconscious processes at play which shape life and relationships. This involves exploring how certain choices, past and present, may have shaped a client's experience and where the past may have hindered progress in the present.
I offer support with anxiety and depression, addiction issues, grief support, attachment issues, difficulties in relationships. I also work with those who have experienced childhood and other trauma, which may relate to family relationships and upbringing or a traumatic incident.
I have also studied the work of Carl Jung, who believed that the whole of the individual's experience should be respected and included, rather than aspects being pathologised or disavowed; this includes the individual's unwanted 'shadow' aspects – such as, for example, their aggressive, envious, destructive qualities, and how these play out in current life experience and relationships.
