First Consultation / Assessment

If you are interested in making an appointment to discuss beginning psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy you can contact me via the form on the Contacts page to make an appointment or to arrange to talk with me.

If you choose to go ahead, you will be offered up to 4 consultation sessions.  The first session will last for up to 75 minutes, and any subsequent session(s) would last for 50 minutes. Consultation sessions are usually one week apart.  These sessions provide you and myself with an opportunity to reflect on the problems that bring you to consider psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy, to describe your personal history, and to consider the benefits and implications of beginning treatment. By the end of the agreed consultation session(s) you should have a sense of what you might be embarking upon and how psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy may help you. If going ahead does not seem appropriate, I will discuss other models of therapy with you and may be able to help find an alternative practitioner.
