15 Years forensic psycotherapy experience. Member of York association for psychodynamic psycotherapy. Worked with survivors of physical and sexual abuse and people who deliberately self-harm. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy endeavours to reach the underlying, often unconscious, causes of distress. Together with the therapist the patient can explore free associations, memories, phantasies, feelings and dreams, both past and present. In the reliable setting of the therapy (which allows for regression) and interactions with the therapist, the patient may achieve a new and better resolution of long standing personal issues. Counselling and confidentiality.
