Psychoanalysis London

Psychoanalysis discerns a vital trace of knowledge in the suffering of the speaking subject; a vital knowledge of which the subject is unconscious. Hence, psychoanalysis does not aim at the removal symptoms but invites the subject to speak about his/her suffering, to put it to work. In so doing, the subject enters a new relationship with his/her suffering, a new relationship with his/her unconscious knowledge; perhaps for the first time, to with it, rather than against it.

• Depression
• Panic Attacks
• Stress
• Addiction
• Self Harm
• Abuse
• Feeling lost, confused, disconnected?
• Problems with work, sexuality, relationships, sleep, money?

Analysis experience begins with a question, "What's wrong?" and invites you to say something about it. Whatever the symptom, it is you, the subject, who suffers and so you are called to speak about it.

Someone, who wants to know; someone who privileges the social link as a key to engaging human suffering.

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.

After the promises of a quick-fix have been broken, it is clear that 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 indicates.

Lacanian Psychoanalysis, is not a standardised treatment. It is a conversation like no other; one based on free association. You can say anything that occurs to you, no matter how strange or trivial.

The work is oriented by the principles and ethics of psychoanalysis. Elements such as duration and frequency of sessions, as well as fees are part of the analytic experience and so will be taken up in the analytic conversation.

Session length: The length of the session varies, as analytic time suspends the ticking clock of standard time - the time for all, without exception.

Duration of the analytic experience: The duration of the treatment will depend on you.

How often: This will be specific to you.

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.
