In recent years, more people have been seeking therapy not only to cope with immediate emotional distress but also to build long-term emotional resilience. As life becomes increasingly demanding, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Psychodynamic therapy offers a meaningful path toward understanding yourself at a deeper level—and creating lasting inner change.
I’m Sena Elbası, a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Qualified Counsellor based in London, offering both online and in-person therapy for adults seeking emotional clarity, stability, and growth. My therapeutic work is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to helping individuals understand the deeper layers of their emotional life.
Why Emotional Resilience Matters
Emotional resilience is not about “staying strong” or suppressing difficult feelings. Instead, it’s about developing the capacity to understand, process, and navigate emotions in healthier ways.
Through psychodynamic therapy, individuals often begin to:
- recognise emotional patterns that feel stuck or repetitive
- respond to stress with more clarity and self-awareness
- understand the roots of anxiety, low mood, or emotional overwhelm
- feel more grounded and stable internally
- navigate relationships with healthier boundaries and deeper insight
Building resilience is a gradual process, and therapy provides the safe space needed for that growth.
My Approach: Deep Exploration for Long-Term Change
As a therapist trained in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths, University of London, and registered with the BACP, my approach focuses on exploring the deeper meaning behind your thoughts, feelings, and relational experiences.
Psychodynamic therapy is especially helpful for adults who want to understand:
- unconscious emotional patterns
- the impact of early experiences
- long-standing internal conflicts
- difficulties in relationships or attachment
- cultural, identity, or migration-related challenges
By bringing these patterns into awareness, therapy opens the door to long-term emotional transformation—not just short-term symptom relief.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy in London
Living in a multicultural city like London means many individuals navigate complex layers of identity, belonging, and cultural adjustment. As someone who has worked closely with diverse communities, including migrants and refugees, I offer a therapeutic space where all parts of your identity are welcome.
Conversations around culture, religion, migration, family expectations, or identity transitions are approached with care, openness, and sensitivity.
Online and In-Person Therapy Options
To make therapy accessible, I provide:
- Online psychodynamic therapy for adults across the UK and internationally
- In-person therapy in London for those who prefer a physical, grounded space
Both formats offer the same level of depth, confidentiality, and warmth.
Is Psychodynamic Therapy Right for You?
You may find this approach helpful if you are experiencing:
- anxiety or emotional overwhelm
- low mood or depression
- relationship or attachment difficulties
- identity confusion or self-esteem challenges
- trauma or difficult childhood experiences
- stress, burnout, or a sense of disconnection
- recurring emotional patterns you don’t fully understand
If you are seeking long-term support that helps you understand yourself more deeply, psychodynamic therapy can be a powerful step forward.
