People come to psychoanalytically informed therapy for many reasons—depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, shame, or low self-esteem. What these struggles often have in common is that they have been present for some time and, despite our best efforts, do not improve when we try to manage them alone. This can leave us feeling stuck and isolated, with symptoms and frustrations that gradually intensify.
The aim of this therapy is not only to alleviate conscious symptoms, but also to develop a deeper understanding and awareness of the underlying emotional life that shapes our relationships and our feelings.
Psychoanalytic therapy deepens our understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and the emotional challenges that naturally arise in life. Through the therapeutic relationship, it offers a safe space to explore the difficulties we face and the patterns that shape them.
I also offer clinical supervision.
The relationship with the therapist develops within a structure allowing both conscious and unconscious thoughts and wishes to be expressed within the safety of the therapy setting. Awareness of how unconscious life and inner beliefs keeps determining our lives emerges in a live way with the therapist which can then be understood allowing for real change.
