What Is Psychoanalysis?
Psychoanalysis is a deep, reflective process that helps you understand the hidden patterns, beliefs, and emotional roots behind your current struggles — whether it’s anxiety, low self-worth, recurring relationship difficulties, or simply feeling emotionally stuck.
Unlike quick-fix solutions, this is a slower, more spacious therapy designed to uncover the “why” beneath the surface — helping you move toward lasting emotional freedom.
The Institute of Psychoanalysis offers an in-depth explanation, where you can understand better the work of Sigmund Freud and its foundations.
My Approach
I offer a calm, welcoming space where your story can unfold naturally. While my work is grounded in classical psychoanalysis, I tailor each session to who you are — no rigid scripts or clinical detachment, just honest, compassionate presence.
What to Expect
First Contact
You reach out — often by message or phone — and I offer a free 30-minute call to hear a bit of your story and see if we’re the right fit.
Clarity & Agreement
In our first session, I explain how psychoanalysis differs from psychotherapy and give you space to choose what depth feels right. Sessions last 60-80 minutes to allow for calm reflection & connection. Then 50 minutes per session.
Getting Started
We begin exploring your emotional world together, slowly and naturally — no rigid assessments, just listening with care.
Deepening the Work
As trust builds, we start noticing deeper patterns, connecting emotional dots, and gently understanding what lies beneath.
Real Connection
Throughout, I offer honest empathy, personalised reflections, and the kind of presence that helps real change happen — at your own pace.
