Mrs Erica Spencer Green

Psychotherapist (Registered)

Psychotherapy from a psychodynamic approach. Exploring the past for its relevance in the pursuit of happiness today.

About Me

This psychodynamic approach helps individuals explore their past. We gently uncover how earlier experiences shape present feelings and behaviours, exploring their relevance for present-day happiness. This method is ideal for those ready to understand their personal history. Sessions offer a thoughtful space to gain insights, fostering clarity and supporting a more content present.

Approach

Exploring how past patterns show up now, I guide gentle curiosity into the links between memory, emotion and everyday choices. Sessions in St Albans or online in English move at a thoughtful pace, offering a steady, contained space and time between meetings for reflection. Together we track themes such as anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties or trauma, name recurring patterns, and try different ways of responding to difficult feelings. This work suits people ready to make sense of their history and feel steadier in daily life.
