Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Online
Archibald Psychotherapy offers psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults seeking thoughtful, longer-term therapeutic work around trauma, grief, anxiety, loss, identity, and relationship difficulties. Sessions are available online across the UK and internationally. The practice draws on NHS and acute mental health experience, with a reflective approach that makes space for complexity rather than quick fixes. I work online with clients across the UK and in London, Cambridge, and Bristol.
Online Psychotherapy Tailored to You
A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space
My approach is warm, thoughtful, and professional. I aim to build a genuine connection with you, grounded in trust and mutual understanding. Through this relationship, we can work together toward clarity, emotional ease, and meaningful, lasting change.
A Thoughtful and Professional Approach
You may be feeling overwhelmed, low, or stuck, but you're not alone. You will find a calm, non-judgmental space where you can talk freely and feel heard. Together we’ll explore the challenges you're facing, and begin to understand what’s behind them.
Your Experience Matters Most
I work with a number of issues such as depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, trauma, loss, anger and attachment issues. This is not a definitive list, what matters most is your experience of it and how we can find peace from the difficulties it causes.
About Me
I’m a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist offering online therapy across the UK. With clinical experience in the NHS, university counselling, and private practice, I specialise in trauma, grief, loss, and intercultural therapy. Together, we’ll look at how past experiences, relationships, and cultural influences shape your present.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first session is a chance to talk about what's bringing you to therapy and what you hope for. It's normal to feel nervous. We’ll see whether the therapy feels like a good fit. You're not under any obligation to continue. It's simply an opportunity to meet and see if working together makes sense. In this confidential online space, we’ll discuss your concerns, session logistics, costs, and questions. We’ll meet twice initially to develop a shared understanding of your needs and ensure your emotional safety.
Fees & Concessions
Sessions from £100 · Initial consultation £150 · Concessions available
Understanding Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
What is Psychodynamic Psychotherapy?
Psychodynamic psychotherapy can feel unclear, especially with so many therapy types out there. You might have heard of CBT, DBT, or psychoanalysis, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But this therapy isn’t about labels or quick fixes. It’s about your unique story, your relationships, your past, your emotional world.
Much like a story unfolding, therapy explores how earlier experiences, like childhood relationships, shape your current feelings and behaviors. The goal is to better understand yourself, not to be told what to do, but to be deeply heard.
Your therapist listens beyond the words: tone, emotions, even what’s not said. This careful, non-judgmental space is where lasting change begins. Becoming a psychodynamic therapist involves deep personal and clinical training, all so the therapist can be fully present for you.
The therapeutic relationship is central. It’s a space where you can bring whatever you’re feeling and be met with calm, skilled attention. Every therapeutic journey is unique, a reflection of your personal history and emotional life. If this way of working resonates, I’d be happy to hear from you. Psychodynamic work is also deeply attachment-informed, exploring how early relational experiences shape the way we connect, protect ourselves, and feel in the world today.

What is psychodynamic psychotherapy?
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a form of talking therapy that explores how past experiences, relationships, emotions, and unconscious patterns can shape current difficulties. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, therapy aims to create space to think more deeply about anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, identity, or emotional overwhelm.
Over time, this can help people recognise recurring patterns, understand emotional reactions more clearly, and develop a more stable sense of themselves and their relationships.
How do I know if psychotherapy is right for me?
People often come to psychotherapy when something feels difficult to carry alone. This may include anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, relationship struggles, emotional numbness, or a persistent sense of being stuck.
You do not need to be in crisis to begin therapy. Many people seek psychotherapy because they want a space to reflect, understand themselves more deeply, or make sense of repeated emotional patterns.
An initial consultation can help you decide whether therapy feels like the right fit, without pressure or obligation to continue.
Do you offer online psychotherapy across the UK and internationally?
Yes. Online psychotherapy sessions are available for adults across the UK and, in some circumstances, internationally. Online work can offer a consistent and confidential therapeutic space while allowing greater flexibility around location and schedule.
Sessions are held remotely using secure video platforms. Many people find online psychotherapy particularly helpful when balancing work, parenting, travel, health concerns, or living in areas with limited access to specialist psychodynamic therapy.
