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 rather than against it.
What's Wrong?
- 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.
Who?
Someone, who wants to know; someone who privileges the social link as a key to engaging human suffering.
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.
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.
What
Lacanian Psychoanalysis, is
not a standardised treatment. It is a conversation like no other; one based on free association. You can say anything that comes into your head, no matter how strange or trivial.
The work is oriented by theprinciples 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.
How Long?
Session length: There is no standard time. The analytic session suspends the ticking clock of standard time - the time for all, without exception. Psychoanalysis privileges the unique position of each speaking subject that, one by one, asks to be heard.
Duration of the analytic experience: The duration of the treatment will depend on you.
How often: This will be specific to you.
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.
