Clinical Interventions -
Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy for Individuals
​ In essence, psychoanalysis is based on the premise that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours, are determined by unconscious processes. As these emerge in therapeutic process and it becomes possible to emotionally experience and understand one’s personal history, psychic roadblocks and past trauma, dysfunctional patterns give way to healing, leading to deep and enduring changes within.
These are long term intensive clinical interventions that allow for slow and gradual process of deepening our own experience of ourselves. ​

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Couples
This is a specific intervention for couples who may be finding their marriage unfulfilling for varied reasons. It is aimed at helping the couple reflect on their relationship - identifying their own individual proclivities for maintaining the gridlock as they work together through the external triggers / problems that may have got them to initiate the process of therapy.​ One can say, it is 'health of the relationship' that is at the heart of this work.
