Please note that I am not accepting new ‘in- person’ patients until the New Year as I am currently away from my usual consulting rooms and am only offering online consultation appointments.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy works by fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you. It supports the in-depths exploration of the past and looks at how past experiences might colour the present, contributing to some of the difficulties you want to work on in therapy. Such difficulties might include; relationship problems at home or work, underlying feelings of depression, anxiety, traumatic losses or painful life events. Difficulties in relationships are one of the most common causes of unhappiness, and often bring people to therapy.
