Dr. Moritz Senarclens de Grancy

My approach is rooted in psychoanalysis as developed by Freud and Lacan. I listen closely to how problems express themselves in language, relationships, and everyday life. Together we explore what repeats, what resists, and what remains unsaid. The aim is not to offer quick solutions but to create a space where thinking, feeling, and desire can come into contact again.

I work with transference and the unconscious as forces that shape our ways of relating to others and to ourselves. In couples work, I help partners slow down escalating patterns and find a language for what is shared and what is different. My stance is both attentive and active, guided by the belief that insight emerges through the analytic encounter itself.

Sessions are confidential and take place in German or English, in person or online.

Since 2017 I have run a psychoanalytic practice in Berlin, where I work three days a week with analysants, patients, and couples. My clinical work includes psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and couples therapy, guided by Freud’s and Lacan’s understanding of the unconscious and the transferential field.

Alongside my practice, I have been actively involved in group relations work for many years as director and staff member of conferences in the Tavistock tradition. I consult and supervise psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic training institutes, social organisations, and health-care providers. I also contribute regularly to experiential and reflective formats such as the Inscape e.V. Experience Conferences in Weilburg.

In my consulting work, I support leadership teams and organisations in addressing unconscious dynamics, conflict, and change. I bring the same psychoanalytic attention to process, structure, and desire to my organisational work as I do in the analytic setting.

I hold a doctorate in Cultural Studies from Humboldt University of Berlin, where I wrote my dissertation on Sigmund Freud’s work and clinical method. My psychoanalytic formation took place in Berlin through the Freud-Lacan-Gesellschaft and the Psychoanalytische Bibliothek (psybi e.V.), complemented by many years of my own analyses with Lacanian psychoanalysts and ongoing supervision.

I have completed further training in group relations and organisational consultancy at the Tavistock Institute and have served for many years as director and staff member at group relations conferences in the Tavistock tradition.

I am a member of the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations (ISPSO), the Freud-Lacan Association, and psybi e.V., and continue to teach and supervise within psychoanalytic and organisational contexts.
