Psychoanalytic psychotherapy draws on the theories and practices of psychoanalysis and centres on a process of exploration undertaken by therapist and client together.

The psychoanalytic process that we enter into helps us to gradually identify unconscious patterns of our inner world and, in becoming conscious of them, to develop the capacity to understand and change them. In this way, psychotherapy may gradually bring about a greater degree of self understanding, an increasing awareness of our inner world and its influence over relationships both present and past and enable us to find more appropriate ways of being and of coping with difficulties.

So, psychotherapy may be helpful if you feel that difficulties affecting the quality of your life are emotional or psychological in origin. Such difficulties may be experienced in a number of ways:
