About Us
We offer a safe, confidential, person focused, compassionate psychoanalytic & psychiatric consultancy service for anyone seeking help with mental health challenges in all spheres of life. We endeavour to provide prompt care and attention to every individual who comes to us for help.
We provide a psychotherapeutic space for understanding of a wide range of mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, PTSD, major mental illnesses, and addictions. In particular, we specialise in the care, assessment, formulation, and treatment of people who suffer from disruptive or distressing sexual behaviours and violence.
We use a psychoanalytic model of understanding individual narratives of distress, and our clinical treatments follow the same principles of care. We also provide medico-legal assessments and psychiatric court reports.
