PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

Therapy offers a way to explore whatever has become difficult to understand, bear, or change on your own. You may be struggling with a loss, a relationship, work, or difficulties relating to sexuality, love or desire. You might find yourself caught between what others want or expect from you and what you want for yourself.

 

Sometimes the difficulty is harder to name. You may be highly capable, but still feel anxious, depressed, or unfulfilled. Therapy can give you time to understand what’s really going on.

 

A psychoanalytic approach doesn’t assume that what you’re going through is self-explanatory or reducible to an off-the-shelf solution. It recognises that our difficulties are bound up with our lived experience, and with unconscious desires, conflicts, and prohibitions that can shape our lives without our fully realising it.

 

I offer a space where you can speak freely, including about thoughts, feelings, or desires that may be difficult to speak about elsewhere. 

 

Together, we can explore what your difficulties mean in the context of your life, the relationships that have shaped you, what you care about, and what you want. Through this process, you may come to understand yourself and your suffering differently, and find new possibilities in how you want to live.
