What is Psychoanalytic Therapy?

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers a space to explore the deeper layers of your thoughts and feelings. It is based on the idea that much of what influences how we feel and behave lies outside of conscious awareness.

Through regular sessions, we may uncover patterns that developed in early life and still affect you today. By bringing these into awareness, lasting change becomes possible.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a long-term, exploratory form of therapy that helps you uncover unconscious patterns and understand the root causes of emotional disturbance. Unlike short-term or solution-focused therapy, this approach goes deeper to support lasting emotional change.

This therapy helps people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, loss, or trauma. It also supports those with relationship problems, family conflicts, or feeling stuck in life or work. It can aid with stress, burnout, obsessive behaviours, menopause, addiction recovery, identity issues, disordered eating, self-confidence, sexual difficulties, and unclear feelings of sadness or feeling lost.
