Welcome to Causeway Therapy. I am Dr Lisa Gaiotto, Clinical Psychologist. I established Causeway Therapy a few years ago, after working in the public and private sectors. I know that life can throw you odd balls, and take you off course. Difficulties such as anxiety, excessive worrying, mood swings, depression, relationship problems, and trauma symptoms can emerge. I can support you to become unstuck from negative thinking, to notice unhelpful behaviours, and to find ways to do things differently.

I work with people who are in some way feeling inner distress. Perhaps they've faced something painful or traumatising in the past and the emotional residue of it remains inside. Perhaps they have experienced loss, or are facing grief - for a loved one, for a time, even for themselves (that feeling of who you really are in your own life). They might be struggling with a situation that feels difficult, even overwhelming, (anything from a relationship or a work problem, to an inner understanding of their own sexual or gender identity). They might wake each day to a feeling of anxiety or dread, drained of energy and facing depression.

Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be transformative, but it's not easy. I work with adolescents and adults, creating a safe and empathetic space where trust is nurtured. I understand the unique needs of individuals navigating complex emotions, identities, and relationships. I work intuitively and collaboratively with clients to explore their goals for therapy, whether it's navigating the challenges of adolescence, managing major life transitions, grief and loss, domestic abuse, divorce, anxiety or depression.

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.
