Passionate. Dedicated. Trusted.
Each psychotherapist is fully qualified and holds at least one masters level training in psychotherapy. Many of the therapists hold additional masters training in related fields.
This means you can have peace of mind in our ability to do what’s best for you.
All counselling and psychotherapy in the clinic is delivered from Psychoanalytically trained therapists. This method aims at the root of suffering and helps people to go beyond it.
This is entirely different than just working on the surface-level presentation of symptoms and can have much longer lasting affects.
It also means we’re equipped to deal with almost any symptom imaginable.
Each therapist has a minimum of five years under their belt working with the public in similar settings. These include in private practice, hospitals, universities and rehabilitation centres.
This means we have a broad range of experience with all sorts of symptoms from anxiety, and depression to relationship issues and psychosis.
Each psychotherapist is accredited with at least two awarding bodies. These include APPI, ICP, PSI, NACPC and IFPP.
Development as a psychoanalyst isn’t like usual therapies. It’s not about ticking off ‘200’ hours. Our psychoanalysts have spent years in their own twice weekly psychoanalysis. Usually surpassing 5+ years in therapy.
Each therapist is also engaged in regular 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.
In her practice Larisa has experience with a wide range of symptoms that include but are not limited to: bereavement and loss, loneliness, panic attacks, self-harm, the consequences of domestic and sexual abuse, eating disorders, stress, anxiety, depression, suicidal-ideation and addiction.

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
Clive’s areas of interest are dreamwork, becoming and existence. Sometimes people find themselves feeling low, distraught, empty and sad. It may seem like it will never change because it has always been this way. It can feel like the worst thing in the world and sometimes the person doesn’t even remember how or why it started.
To quote Clive:
“I work with what is known to find what is unknown to the individual. If you are finding life difficult, it’s okay; we will find a way to the root of the symptoms. Being listened to and truly heard by a qualified psychotherapist can bring change and restoration to a person. In this way, psychotherapy helps people gain a sense of self. It enables a person to consider what they truly desire. It allows a person to make a change, to think, relax and become.”
Clive is an accredited full member of the ICP and of the IFPP.
