As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist I assume, that we don’t know ourselves completely.
The hidden truth of our internal worlds influences our emotional life, decisions, behaviors, sometimes, in a very bizarre or even destructive way. Our psyche is complicated, but understanding of our unconscious motives, needs, wishes and conflicts could be the key to a more satisfactory and fulfilled life.
I also assume, that the impact of relations on a personality is crucial - that is why the quality of relations, early and current, as well as relations with therapist, are becoming one of the primary focus in my work with patients.
I focus on peculiarities of cultural and social context, providing a certain frame for a personality to develop. In the past 2 years i have gained a significant experience working with expats and immigrants, that confirms the importance of the influence of a sociocultural context and possible changes within this context on wellbeing of a person.
In my work I rely on combination of both classical and modern psychoanalytic concepts and techniques, helping to provide a tailored approach to every single case.
The important aspect to be aware of is that contemporary psychoanalytic approach is not about "therapist doing something to the patient", it is more about togetherness.
Psychotherapeutic journey is not an easy one, but it’s worthy to undertake, if you’re a patriot of your own personality. So, get on board!
