About me

I specialise in emancipating rare clients to redefine attachment styles and boundaries in work & love through establishing a two-way discourse around desires, and embracing mistakes as valuable learning experiences. I encourage individuals to break free from convention, to embrace particular and apriori elements of creativity, spirituality, intellect and eros.

Approach

Treatment Approaches

Art therapyRecommended for those who feel more comfortable expressing emotions through creativity and want to explore their feelings through art rather than talking.

Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.

Lacanian psychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore the unconscious mind through the lens of language and desire, focusing on understanding deeper motivations.

Drawing from my background as a Lacanian psychoanalyst, editor of an arts magazine and a contemporary artist, I offer tailored psychoanalytic consulting services aimed at helping artists and other individuals tap into their imagination, surmount creative blocks, and unearth fresh inspiration. My practice is rooted in the belief that engaging with existential and metaphysical concepts, as well as understanding one's vocational essence, can pave the way for transformative growth and the realization of personal aspirations.
