Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is an alternative approach to mental health and psychology. Symptoms, questions and problems you bring to a session will usually be seen as having wider meaning and function in your life rather than something simply removable or reducible. It is especially useful when more structured tools and techniques have not been effective or when a less medical approach is needed
Where
Sessions are available in Brixton, South London, as well as in the City Of London, on Fleet Street.
Fees
Inital session fees are £85 in Brixton (£90 in Fleet Street). Ongoing sessions usually cost between £75 and £110
There are spaces for those who would be overcharged by the fees above so feel free to get in touch. It might also be possible to suggest another sychotherapist, analyst or counsellor who may have spaces, along with information on low fee clinics in London
