Psychoanalysis offers a confidential, non-judgmental space where someone can speak about what they are suffering from, and where they can be listened to in a new way. By putting into words things which may have been unspoken before, it can be possible for something about this suffering to change, and for different ways of doing things to become available.
My training is in Lacanian psychoanalysis: this is a way of working with people which pays careful attention to speech and to the specific words that someone uses, and which explores the significance of this language in their personal and family history. It is a practice that rejects any ideas of what is “normal” or how a person should be, but respects what is unique about each individual, and aims towards the creation of their own particular ways of dealing with whatever is troubling or painful to them.
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice, and a member of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research.
