Psychodynamic and interpersonal therapies focus on how earlier experiences, recurring patterns, and relationships influence how you feel and relate today. Succoris clinicians may use psychodynamic therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), or a blend.
Psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns and their impact on mood, relationships, and behaviour. Greater insight can open space for lasting change.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is more structured and time-limited. It targets relationship and communication patterns linked to your mood, such as role transitions, grief, or ongoing interpersonal stress.
These approaches are commonly used for depression, relationship difficulties, and self-understanding. Your psychologist will tailor the work to your goals.
