Dynamic Health Psychological Services is a specialized psychotherapy centre with a skilled team, committed to providing effective patient centred care.
All of our clinicians provide evidence-based psychological services and are trained in an advanced therapy approach, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). This approach is based on a strong relationship with your therapist and is designed to help achieve meaningful, long-lasting changes in as short of a time period as is possible.
Treatment focuses on helping you to better manage mixed emotions, to enable experiencing of feelings, which research shows leads to improvements in symptoms and well-being. Following careful assessment, the Dynamic Health team will discuss an approach and treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
