Psychoanalytic therapy aims to create the setting for a conversation in which, by trying to speak freely and to think about what gets said, internal shifts can occur. Over time, this simple-sounding process can enable you to have a new experience of yourself, others and the world.
But given that the world we live in gives us good reason to be depressed or anxious or ill, what might a cure even look like?
Therapy cannot solve all problems, but the insight and experience it provides can help people think about their problems differently and find more creative solutions. You may find an increased capacity to think and feel; the development of better and more meaningful relationships; a more creative engagement with the world.
Maybe you will feel less confused, more alive, more at home in your body, more able to love or be loved.
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. They may be trying to understand the breakdown of a relationship, repetitive behaviours, or problems at work. Many come with feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety, confusing thoughts and feelings. Some come with traumatic histories or chronic illnesses that seem to have no cure. All of these are a good place to begin.
The frequency of sessions is determined individually. Each session lasts 50 minutes.
