Graham Gerrans
Psychodynamic psychotherapistAbout Me
You might be finding life difficult, feeling anxious, depressed or experiencing a significant life event such as bereavement, divorce or redundancy. You might feel dissatisfied with your life and want to understand yourself better.
I am an experienced BACP registered psychodynamic psychotherapist working in Croydon and online offering short-term and open-ended therapy to adults of all ages.
Therapy provides you with the opportunity to explore any issues which might be concerning you. I will work with you to explore current and historic life events, feelings, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. This difficult and often emotionally challenging process will help you to more fully understand yourself, ultimately, allowing you to take greater control and live a life that feels more genuine, connected and meaningful.
How I work
My approach is psychodynamic: the psychodynamic model holds the view that our current difficulties can have origins in earlier times of our lives, particularly in childhood, and that the mind conceals or retains feelings or memories which may be too painful or difficult for the conscious mind to process. This can be the root cause of many of our difficulties.
I will work with you to not only explore your conscious thoughts, feelings and experiences, but also those you may not be fully aware of, but which may be having an impact on your life.
I am experienced in working with a wide range of life issues such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Relational and family difficulties
- Loss and Bereavement
Getting Started With Psychotherapy
Beginning the process of psychotherapy can be daunting and confusing. I offer a no-cost 10 minute phone consultation where we can discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you might hope to gain. I can also answer any questions you may have about the process. Ongoing therapy would be weekly for 50 minutes.
I am now offering in person therapy as well as online and telephone.
