Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy / Psychoanalyst London at Harley Therapy™
Psychoanalysis offers very useful principles which are adopted in longer-term Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. A Psychoanalyst aims to uncover the unconscious factors that may underlie your problems. The presence of unconscious factors means that the advice of others or self-help books can fail to provide relief. Psychoanalysis sheds light on these factors, showing how they affect your current ways of living and how you can deal better with the demands of adult life.
Psychoanalysis relies on the method of 'Free Association' (developed by Sigmund Freud). The process entails saying whatever comes into your head without giving any conscious direction to those thoughts. Alongside dream interpretation and analytic transference, free association is helpful in collecting valuable unconscious material to be worked with in sessions.
What issues are suited for Psychoanalysis / Psychoanalytical Therapy?
Psychoanalysis has a wide application. It can help with anxiety, stress in the work place, work-life imbalances, relationship issues (break-up, divorce, affairs, choosing inappropriate partners, loneliness, life adjustments, marital problems, arguments, jealousy, wedding & premarital counselling), trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating problems and negative body image, depression (including suicidal thoughts, low mood, social withdrawal), phobias & fears, addiction, low-self esteem & confidence, abuse (including verbal and sexual abuse), bereavement, grief and loss.
