what is psychoanalytic psychotherapy and how can it help you?

life can be full of difficulties, and at times each one of us is obliged to live in unacceptable conditions that are sometimes unbearable and overwhelming. 

psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to speak about what is currently unsayable, and to hear it in a manner that can impact what one does next.

each person's distress has its own particular tone and content. the emphasis in this space is on listening, rather than advising or instructing. it is a generous space in which you can think deeply, consider your reality, come upon new language, and choose a way forward. if suffering is lessened in this space, it is as a result of coming upon the freedom to hear yourself. 

psychoanalytic psychotherapy is not a simple curative, it offers a challenging, yet rewarding, invitation to become known to yourself.

i have special interest working with individuals who learnt to self-abandon as survival strategy, and those with a history of developmental or relational wounding.

i work affirmatively with Black and POC communities,LGBTQI+ folks, and those with lived experience of non-ordinary consciousness (NOCs).

i offer a free 20-minute initial consultation where you can ask questions you might have about therapy. to schedule, email hello@radicalheart.co or send a message via my contact page.

I consult in-person in North London (NW3) and West Kent (TN13) as well as online and via telephone.
