Hello, my name is Anna Planedin and my main approaches are psychodynamic and emotionally focused couples therapy. I help people find relief and movement from a place of feeling 'stuck.' I specialize in working with life transitions, loss, trauma, chronic pain, and sex/sexuality. I view therapy as a process of helping you listen to your gut feelings, find safety and containment and feel less alone in overwhelming experiences. It is my hope that through speaking about difficult or taboo feelings with me, you will feel understood and accepted, and that over time you feel more durable in how you respond to difficulty.
I aim to provide an open, accessible and compassionate space. Psychodynamically, I pay attention to unconscious relational processes between us and find links between what feels distressful for you in the present and what occured in the past. I often bring attention to bodily cues to prompt deeper exploration of emotional states and the meanings you make.
I work with both individuals and couples, often in longer-term arrangements. In couples work, I blend emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) with my psychodynamic foundations, which means we explore both your present-day patterns and the deeper emotional and relational experiences that underpin them. To arrange an initial session, please get in touch.
