Psychoanalysis is an effective psychological treatment for people whose difficulties range from mild to moderate to severe. Talking to a psychoanalyst in a secure environment can reveal underlying unconscious causes and promote understanding and alleviation.

If you experience any of the following:

  • psychic pain, unease, or symptoms you don’t understand
  • disturbed mood, manifesting as depression, anxiety or anger
  • a sense of detachment, loneliness, or emptiness within
  • patterns of repeated difficulties in work, love or friendships
  • self-destructive patterns towards self and others in relationships
  • suffering from feelings of doubt, guilt, inner conflict, or low self-esteem
  • Looking for a more exploratory and deeper approach than other therapies you may have attempted in the past
  • sexual difficulties, obsessions, or physical symptoms
  • a feeling of not being able to reach your potential
  • a sense of having lost your way or sense of self
  • a wish to develop a greater capacity to think or to feel, to achieve a deeper understanding of self
  • a history of trauma, including loss and bereavement
