Psychoanalysis emphasises the unconscious — the hidden force that shapes who we are and what we do. Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy provides a space to explore the unconscious, fostering insight into the motivations and emotional patterns that influence how we experience ourselves and others. Rooted in Object Relations theory, Sandra’s approach examines how early relationships with caregivers — or objects— shape our sense of self and influence how we relate to others in adulthood.

This kind of psychotherapy can be particularly beneficial for a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief, loss, relationship issues, and sexuality. It encourages a deeper understanding of oneself by inviting you to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, memories, and dreams, all within a compassionate environment that respects your individual pace. While progress is singular and gradual, this depth-oriented approach offers lasting and meaningful change well beyond the conclusion of treatment.

Sandra offers low-cost psychoanalytic psychotherapy to adults aged 18 and over. Day and evening appointments are available.
