Passionate. Dedicated. Trusted.
Within psychotherapy, it is generally understood that therapists do not specialise in symptoms in the same way a medical consultant might specialise in one part of the body.
Each person’s symptoms are unique to them, and symptoms mean something very different for each person.
For this reason, a therapist’s specialisation is usually better understood through their type and level of training, their experience, and their way of working.
Book an appointment
Each of our psychotherapists are trained to at least master’s level and have at least five years relevant experience.
As a result, each of them is trained to work with a broad range of difficulties, and to respoind to the singularity of each person, rather than treating symptoms as isolated categories.
They are all different people of course, and each therapeutic relationship will take shape differently. That is something we cannot fully predict beforehand.
If you have a preference for a particular therapist, please let us know. Otherwise, we allocate appointments based on mutual availability.
All therapy is carried out by qualified psychotherapists, each holding at least a master’s level training in psychotherapy. Many also hold several additional postgraduate trainings in related fields.
All of our therapists are trained psychotherapists, which means they are able to work with each person in the uniqueness of their difficulties, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
This way of working, informed by a psychoanalytic ethos, looks beyond surface symptoms to what they might mean for you personally, opening the possibility of deeper and longer-lasting change.
Each therapist has a minimum of five years of relevant experience.
These include private practice, hospitals, universities, rehabilitation centres, as well as experience in related professional & academic environments.
This breadth of background means each therapist has a substantial level of experience working with a wide range of symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, through to relationship issues and psychosis.
Each psychotherapist is registered with at least one professional organisation in the field of psychology and psychotherapy. Most even hold two or three memberships. These include APPI, ICP, PSI, IACP, IFPP and ISLP.
Development as a psychoanalyst isn’t like usual therapies. Formation as a psychoanalyst doesn’t stop after 200 hours of personal therapy and supervision during college.
Instead, our psychoanalysts spend many years in their own twice weekly personal psychoanalysis. Usually surpassing 10 years in therapy.
Each therapist is also engaged in regular ongoing supervision and clinical development at seminars and workshops.

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
Larisa is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. She has trained in Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis and has experience working with a wide variety of symptoms. Psychoanalysis operates on the premise that there exists a knowledge unknown to ourselves, an unconscious knowledge. Clinical practice in the psychoanalytic orientation is preoccupied with the singularity of each person in a case-by-case tradition, not a one solution fits all. Speech provides the means to access what is symptomatic to come to light and allow the conflict and the compromises of the symptom to become analysable.
The way in which she works offers a particular type of listening which provides the opportunity for insight and proposes a space where you can talk about your suffering and presents the opportunity to re-shape it. It can be a truly transformative experience which can help you assess, explore and reflect on your psychological distress in a confidential way.
Psychoanalysis does not only treat symptoms but also thoroughly questions their origins and for this reason consistency and commitment to therapy are essentially important.
Larisa is a graduate of the Specific Modality Training in St. Vincent’s Hospital, the School of Psychotherapy. She is a psychology graduate and holds a Master’s degree in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from DBS. She is a fully qualified and accredited psychoanalytic psychotherapist and works with the code of ethics in conformity with APPI which are under the umbrella of PCI.

She also conducted a weekly, two-year infant observation which provides the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of human development through direct observation of an infant
during early life.
