Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in London and Online
THE PSYCHOANALYTIC APPROACH
Psychoanalysis, differently from other types of mental health approaches, takes its own time and goes against the grain of 'quick-fixes' or 'one-size-fits-all' approaches. Rather, this is a clinical practice focused on singularity and interested in weaving new ways of living and seeing things in life that may have caused psychological or bodily distress.
A psychoanalytic approach goes beyond surface-level symptomatic presentations and unpacks the logic, reasons for and function of some symptoms
With this in mind, I offer both short and long-term treatment according to each case. We will decide on a weekly, twice-weekly, or sometimes more, fixed- time for our sessions.
Sessions can vary slightly in duration, usually lasting about 40-45 minutes.
There is no set script or forms to fill out.
This will be your time.
FEES, CANCELLATIONS AND COMMITMENT
Fees are negotiable according to your circumstances.
I strive to offer affordable fees at a reduced cost to those who need so and for this reason, in our first session, we will agree to a price, generally sliding between £55-£95 per session.
Cancellations are due in full, but we can always try to reschedule a missed session should something come up, with reasonable flexibility.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
If you would like to start a psychoanalytic treatment, we can first schedule an initial video or phone call to discuss whether this is the right approach for you.
In case we find that another analyst would be a better fit, I am able to refer you to a competent colleague.
I welcome adults for individual psychoanalytic work only and this clinical space is open and safe for Queer/Trans folk.
Sessions can be in person or remote, via video call or phone.
Sessions can be in English and in Portuguese.
