Psychoanalytic Counselling in Chichester

Jane Sarah Lines
Psychotherapist, MBACP
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from yourself or your relationships and struggling with anxiety, low mood, loss or repeating patterns shaped by unconscious processes. Perhaps you are also seeking depth, insight and direction, wanting to understand your inner world and move towards Individuation, Jung's term for a more authentic, meaningful way of being. Together, we can explore the unconscious patterns, feelings and beliefs to allow them to become conscious. This in turn brings healing, greater clarity and opens the way towards emotional freedom and a more authentic sense of self.

Flora de Quincey
Counsellor, MA, MNCPS Acc.
I can assist you in gaining insight & understanding into your history to help you make clearer decisions about your future. As we work together to understand the way you are, the easier it will be for you to make decisions to make your life, career and relationships happier, more balanced and more empowered. In therapy you will have a unique chance to be authentic without self-censorship or consideration of others; where the focus is solely on you. As there are so few chances to encounter this kind of interaction, this acts as a powerful catalyst for change and transformation.

Psychotherapist, MSc, MUKCP
I integrate existential, phenomenological and psychoanalytic ideas into my work.
Living in the world can sometimes bring difficulties. Loss and bereavement, relationship problems, isolation and loneliness, addiction, infidelity, lack of purpose, and questions of sexuality are some of these: anger, shame, sadness, escapism, losing our way or simply putting ones head-in-the-sand are ways that we respond. When this begins to interfere with the quality of how we live, we may seek counselling. We want to live better.

My clients are thoughtful individuals who value depth and reflection. Many have lived through trauma, loss, or periods of profound transition, and now seek not quick solutions but sustained psychological work. They are drawn to therapy as an ongoing investment in awareness, relationship, and inner freedom — a confidential space to explore complexity, rediscover meaning, and live with greater authenticity and emotional depth. This is a process for those who wish to engage seriously with themselves and create lasting transformation at the deepest levels of experience, where real change becomes possible.

You might be the one who holds everything together. You function well, meet expectations, and keep going even when you’re exhausted. Inside, your mind rarely rests. You overthink, feel tense, and carry a quiet fear of letting people down. Many women I work with don’t feel “unwell” but they feel constantly on edge, disconnected, or emotionally tired. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to perform, explain yourself, or stay strong. You get to slow down and be met as you are.

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of trauma recovery and personal growth. I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, PTSD, complex trauma (CPTSD), OCD, depression, or grief. I focus on the provision of EMDR therapy, and I can offer sessions online and in-person at my private practice in Hampshire. I enjoy working collaboratively at a pace that suits you. I would love to meet you and see if we’re a good fit. Using EMDR alongside talking therapy, IFS, creative methods and somatic work, I support you to gently process distressing experiences that may still be interfering with your everyday life.

I work with a wide range of clients, those who are “wearing a mask”, facing adversity, struggling with past trauma, loss of agency, identity, or self-destructive patterns. They feel disconnected, reactive, and uncertain about their future. They need a structured approach to rebuild trust in themselves, regain control, and find meaning in navigating their suffering. Their goal is growth, not just recovery. They want clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose because they refuse to be defined by their past. My therapy focuses on reintegrating the divided self, fostering agency, and helping clients transform pain into strength.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
