Serves Area
I work with anxiety, depression, addictions, with teenagers and adults.
I practice Lacanian Psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is a talking work, or therapy, which aims to make an absolute difference to suffering. Lacan's psychoanalysis is based in the idea that the unconscious is structured like language. What you say reveals the unconscious processes that underlie any issues that are problematic for you, or recur. Psychoanalysis is the safe space where you can come to talk freely, without censorship and your analyst listens. There is no "correct" way to speak; the work of psychoanalysis is to find your own unique voice, especially of your unconscious.

Dr Anastasiya Suetin
Psychologist, PhD, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Serves Area
Whether working with children, adolescents or adults, I aim to create a safe, respectful space where differences are recognised and celebrated rather than pathologised.
I see clients with ADHD, autism, giftedness, learning difficulties, anxiety or mood concerns. Many feel misunderstood or unsure about their differences, whether seeking answers for their child or exploring their own neurodivergent identity. At the core, they are looking to be understood, supported and to move toward a more balanced and authentic life.

Working through life's difficulties and living with pain can at times feel like it's more than we can handle, but these are also often the seasons where meaningful change starts to happen. Receiving support can be the difference between the outcomes we want and the ones we don't. Especially when that support feels genuinely safe and contained.
