We meet in sessions to speak about what may have been troubling you – sometimes for a long time, sometimes emerging more recently. You may find yourself asking: Why does this keep happening to me? Why do I find myself in the same situations? How do I know what I truly want?
In speaking, connections often emerge between earlier experiences and the ways one finds oneself living today. This is at times in forms that repeat without fully revealing why. As Jacques Lacan said, “The unconscious is structured like a language.” Through speech, what was unclear may gradually take shape.
Psychology & Psychotherapy
Therapy
People seek therapy for many reasons - anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, life transitions, existential concerns, or patterns that persist despite one’s efforts. It is not necessary to arrive with a clear explanation. Often, it is enough to recognise that something is no longer working. Therapy offers a place to speak about what troubles you and to approach these questions with care and attention.
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is a more intensive form of analytic work for those who wish to explore their questions in greater depth. Rather than following a fixed method, the work unfolds through speaking and attentive listening, allowing what is singular in each person’s history to gradually emerge. For some, psychoanalysis becomes a space to examine recurring patterns, desires, and the questions that insist over time.
Anxiety
Anxiety can take many forms — panic, persistent worry, unease, or a sense of being adrift. More than a reaction to external pressures, anxiety is often linked to something that resists easy naming. Therapy provides a space to approach what insists beneath the surface and to begin putting words to what may have remained unspoken.

Grief Loss Depression Trauma
It is possible to continue working, speaking, and appearing functional while inwardly something has come to a standstill. When life looks “fine” on the surface yet feels strangely muted, the question is worth approaching. Therapy offers a place to speak about this disquiet and to consider what it may be asking.
Sexuality Identity LGBTIQ
Questions of identity and sexuality are often deeply personal and, at times, difficult to speak about elsewhere. Therapy provides a respectful and thoughtful setting in which these experiences can be approached without assumption, pressure, or haste. What matters is creating a space where you can speak freely about what concerns you.
Children
Children do not always express distress in words. At times it appears through behaviour, learning, attention, or relationships. Therapy offers a careful and attentive setting in which these expressions can be approached with sensitivity, working collaboratively with parents where appropriate. Understanding the child’s experience is often the beginning of change.
