Why Psychoanalysis?
Psychoanalysis places a value on your symptom supposing that it has a reason to be there and so aims to work with it and not against it.
What?
THIS is conversation like no other; one based on free association. You can say anything that comes into your head, no matter how strange or trivial.
Who?
Someone who wants to hear what you have to say; someone who priveleges the social link as the key to engaging mental suffering.
What's Wrong?
- Depression
- Panic Attacks
- Stress
- Eating Disorders
- Addiction
- Self Harm
- Abuse
- Bereavment
- Feeling lost, confused, disconnected?
- Problems with work, sexuality, relationships, sleep, money?
Analysis begins with a question, "What's wrong?" because whatever the symptom, it is you, the subject, who suffers and so you are called to speak about it.
How?
Somehow, it works. What is crucial is not the problem itself but how we are able to respond. In speaking about it, it becomes possible to find new ways to operate.
Where?
HERE. Analysts work in several locations across London, with transport links nearby.
When?
NOW. No waiting lists. Daytime or Evening appointments. Contact your analyst directly, or ask for more details.
Why?
Because, despite all the promises of a quick-fix, the only one who can build the answers to the questions that your life presents, is you. In listening to you speak; the analyst will take their cue from what you say, intervening as the process dictates, always orientated by the principles and ethics of psychoanalysis.
Lacanian psychoanalysis is not a standardised treatment; elements such as duration of sessions, fees, frequency, and the contours of the conversation are part of the treatment and so will be specific to each analysand.
How Much?
A PRICE THAT YOU CAN PAY. The fee is an important element of the analytic experience, part of the investment that you make in the work; its aims and its consequences.
How Long?
Session length: The ending of the session will turn on what is said by the analysand, while the clock ticks to a standard time, the time for all without exception.
Duration of treatment: The duration of the treatment will depend on your situation.
How often: This will be specific to your situation, to your needs and your circumstances. Analysis can be organised weekly, or a cluster of sessions periodically.
