Psychoanalysis in West Yorkshire and online
I offer individual psychoanalytic work with adults. People consult me about anxiety and other mental health difficulties, loss, problems in relationships and patterns they find themselves repeating. Others feel stuck, dissatisfied or uncertain about what they want.
Online sessions are available. In-person work may be available by prior arrangement in West Yorkshire.
The practice
Beginning psychoanalytic work
Psychoanalytic work begins with a wish to speak about what is happening in your life. I listen to the concerns you bring and to how you speak about them: the words you use, the details that stand out and the patterns that emerge across different parts of your life. Over time, familiar experiences may take on a different significance, and your response to them may change.
The first step is an initial consultation. We discuss what has led you to seek help, what you expect from the work, and whether it would be appropriate for us to continue.
