Psychoanalytic psychotherapy
What is Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy?
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers deep, reflective psychological work in a consistent, confidential setting. It focuses on understanding unconscious patterns, early experiences and long-standing emotional difficulties that can shape wellbeing, relationships and a sense of self. At Hampstead Psychology, we offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Hampstead and Marylebone, London, as well as online across the UK and internationally.
How Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Works
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is based on the idea that many emotional struggles are influenced by unconscious processes — thoughts, feelings, memories and relational patterns shaped early in life, often outside awareness. These patterns can affect how you relate to others, manage stress and make decisions, even when you understand things intellectually. In therapy, you work with a skilled psychologist to bring these themes into clearer awareness. Through steady, thoughtful dialogue, you can begin to understand the roots of distress and create lasting change, not only symptom relief.
What Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Can Help With
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help with chronic anxiety or low mood, emotional numbness or disconnection, relationship and attachment difficulties, self-esteem and identity concerns, complex trauma and early developmental experiences, and repetitive life patterns or self-sabotaging behaviours.
Private Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with Experienced Psychologists
This approach can be particularly valuable for high-functioning individuals who sense that their difficulties run deeper than surface-level stress and want change that unfolds over time. We offer a discreet, professional setting with experienced clinical and counselling psychologists, where the focus is on depth, respect and clinical expertise.
