Psychodynamic Therapy in St Albans & Online
Hello, I’m Rebecca Noorian, a Psychodynamic Counsellor and Therapist based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
Starting counselling or therapy is a brave step. It takes courage to reach out — and I’m here to support you with whatever is on your mind.
Counselling and therapy offers a space to be truly heard, perhaps for the first time. When someone listens without judgement, it can help you speak openly about what matters most — and begin to ease the weight you’ve been carrying.
There are many different reasons people come for counselling or therapy. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need a place to begin.
Together, we can explore what you’re facing and help you find clarity, confidence and a renewed sense of direction.
It’s a time to focus on you, to think about your needs and what you want from life.
Choosing to start therapy is an act of self-respect. Read more about this in my blog therapy – an act of self respect
Contact me to arrange a free 50 minute initial session, either in person in St Albans or online anywhere in the UK.
How Counselling or Therapy Can Help
Starting counselling or therapy provides you with a reliable and consistent space to reflect on your own story and your present situation. It can provide relief from distress and help you feel supported in whatever is difficult for you. Counselling or therapy helps you reach a deeper understanding of yourself, improving the way you relate to yourself and creating stronger and more meaningful relationships with the people around you. Issues that have felt confusing can be made sense of, giving you more clarity with whatever you are facing. It can support you in making meaningful changes in many aspects of your life.
You and Your Counsellor or Therapist
Research consistently shows that the strongest predictor of successful therapy is the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. I understand that it takes time to settle in and build trust, but it should always feel like a safe space, free of judgement with whatever you choose to bring. Therapy can be most effective when it feels like a place where in time, even the difficult feelings can be talked about.
Counselling or Therapy
You might hear the terms counselling and therapy used interchangeably though they can feel a little different in practice. Counselling often means shorter-term support, focused on specific challenges you are facing right now. Therapy, especially psychodynamic therapy usually involves a deeper, longer-term process to explore your emotions and patterns.
As a psychodynamic therapist based in St Albans I offer both counselling and therapy to suit your individual needs. Whether you need focused short-term help or a more in-depth process – I can support you. Your needs may change over time, and together we can find the best path forward.
