Do you experience aspects of your life as dissatisfying or distressing, this may feel like depression, anxiety, hopelessness or a pervasive self criticism? Such dissatisfaction and distress can be supported through Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. Laura's focus is the development of a safe, trusting and reliable relationship which becomes the basis for exploring your thoughts and feelings, and generating insights about the sources of your personal struggles. Generating insights open new opportunities for more satisfying connections to self and others, and greater life choices.
Laura has developed a deep commitment to exploring each individual’s unique sense of themselves. This is done through the development of increased self awareness which strengthens our internal resources, which we can draw on to manage day to day life and relationships in a more thoughtful and satisfying way.
If you are seeking a safe space that supports you to develop a greater understanding of, and connection to yourself and others then it may be helpful to make an appointment with Laura to explore your options in more detail.
