Psychodynamic approaches of counselling can happen in many different ways. Following are the some principles that are used or have to be kept in the mind while using the psychodynamic way of counselling :-

A sound counsellor should not try to overbear the resistance by pressurising the client to reveal their feelings and thoughts.

A good counsellor should start know their client’s and should also strive to organise them in an integrated approach of common therapeutic targets.

Good counsellors pictures themselves as a vessel getting all the convexities form the client’s side.

Counsellors should also permit themselves to be flexible adequately so as to understand the client’s approach to bring them in the familiar way of relations.

Counsellors working with this approach permits themselves to be vigilant enough to the client’s inner world that evolves in the counselling

Narrative psychodynamic approach

This approach involves working with stories. Counsellors working on the psychodynamic approach always exhibit high level of interest in the narrative part and have come up for this method in two important forms. Firstly, the stories shared by the client have been viewed as exchanging facts about the individual’s method of referring to others. Secondly, the job of the counsellor has been seen as a way of helping or enabling the client to come to a decision or solution to his problem and more agreeable method of sharing their life history.

There are several goals of the psychodynamic therapy but the ultimate goal is to elaborate the client’s knowledge regarding the unconscious disputes, feelings, thoughts, wishes and wants. Apart from this the supreme aim is to enable the client to live up their life independently, also to insist a self respect and self reliance in them.
