Philosophy & Vision
Although we have specific words and labels for many of the difficulties and forms of suffering that we all experience, these labels and terms have little positive effect on these forms of mental and emotional suffering.
Through the psychoanalytic process, I can help you to find a way to work through the difficulties that you maybe experiencing. This can allow you to come to a new understanding of your difficulties and to find new ways of experiencing your life and relationships.
Services
I am a psychoanalyst and relationship therapist working with adults and couples in private practice in Carlton, Melbourne.

Therapy Approach
The approach I use is a non-directive, supportive and empathic approach. I encourage individuals who come for help to speak freely as possible about what they have been suffering from and the difficulties they are experiencing in life. Through this process, we maybe lead to look at the many different areas and aspects of your life that might appear at first glance to be unconnected.
This might including your talking about your initial difficulties but also your fears, desires, sexual life, dreams, relationships and concerns. Working together to explore and understand your experience is a healing process that can help you rework the way you relate to yourself, your personal history and your personal relationships in the world.
