Psychoanalysis has some useful principles which we adopt in our  longer-term psychotherapy work. A psychoanalyst aims to uncover the unconscious factors that cause 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.

For her PhD thesis, Dr Jacobson studied the practice of US and London Psychoanalysts. She has extensive knowledge in the field of psychoanalysis and integrates psychoanalytic psychotherapy in her work.
