I am Professor Michael Atar, a psychoanalytic parent-infant psychotherapist. I work with families, parents, carers, and their children, drawing on my expertise from various life experiences such as my medical background, working as a paediatric dentist for over 25 years, and being a father of a large family with children of various ages. Whilst I do adopt a psychoanalytic observational stance, I don’t approach therapy from the position of “expert”. My belief in therapy focuses on awareness, understanding, and gentle support. As the word therapy suggests facilitating and serving, my work emphasises a collaborative experience.
I will ask you to define your own targets and goals for our work. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, welcoming environment, working online via Zoom, or in-person in the comfort of your own home. I work with whole families of any size, couples, individuals, parents or single parents, carers of any gender, together with their babies, infants, or toddlers.
I also work with adults, adolescents and children presenting with a variety of mental health issues such as postnatal depression or PTSD. In addition, I address general issues concerning your child’s development such as difficulties connecting, eating, sleeping, or feeding issues. I accompany individuals before, during, and after pregnancy.
