Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a talking therapy based on saying whatever is going through your mind. The use of psychoanalytic theories of mind to support emotional wellbeing, good mental health and effective social policy to create a better society.
Theories and practices (h2)
Psychoanalytic or psychodynamic psychotherapy draws on theories and practices of analytical psychology and psychoanalysis. It is a therapeutic process which helps patients understand and resolve their problems by increasing awareness of their inner world and its influence over relationships both past and present. It differs from most other therapies in aiming for deep seated change in personality and emotional development.

Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy aim to help people with serious psychological disorders to understand and change complex, deep-seated and often unconsciously based emotional and relationship problems thereby reducing symptoms and alleviating distress. However, their role is not limited only to those with mental health problems. Many people who experience a loss of meaning in their lives or who are seeking a greater sense of fulfilment may be helped by psychoanalytic or psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Why do people seek therapy? (h3)
We are working towards a future where psychoanalysis has a much bigger role to play in our society. Where its potential to tackle the key challenges our society faces is recognised and realised. And where everyone – whatever their gender, ethnicity, sexuality, ability or income – can get the treatment they need.
