Dreamwork Therapy

 What Is Dreamwork Therapy?: Engaging with dreams as part of therapy has a long history. In modern dreamwork therapy, ‘dreamworkers’ use this technique to help the dreamer tap into and process their emotions to form an understanding of what your dreams say about your waking life. They can also show us things about yourself that you might not otherwise know.

Unlike Freudian ‘dream interpretation’, and Jung’s ‘amplification’, in which the analyst is the expert, in dreamwork the dreamworker and the dreamer partner together as a team, with the therapist guiding the client in discovering meaning for themselves.

How does dreamwork therapy work?: Dreamwork therapy allows an inhibited person to bring their fears, emotions, memories, life transitions, behaviours and hopes into therapy that you may not be able to articulate clearly for the therapist.

The end result of this type of process is to help you gain self-confidence in things such as problem-solving, gaining self-awareness, motivation, increasing empathy, treating nightmares, or improving your overall wellbeing.

Therapy Issues That Dreamwork Therapy Helps With

What does dreamwork therapy focus on: So much of what we feel is reflected in our subconscious minds. If you are having unstable moods or unexplained intense emotions, this is where dreamwork therapy could be useful to help you gain more insight.

We want you to feel able to discuss any questions or worries with your therapist. This is important in order for you to progress in your therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Dreamwork Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.
