Online Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

The same depth of work, wherever you are.

You may have spent a long time trying to understand yourself, yet find that certain difficulties continue to return. Perhaps familiar patterns emerge in your relationships, you experience the same anxieties in different situations, or something persists despite your efforts to understand or change it.

Sometimes, understanding why something happens is not enough to make it different.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers a space to explore these difficulties in greater depth. Through speaking and attending to what emerges over time, the work can help you develop a different understanding of yourself, your relationships and the patterns that continue to shape your experience. This depth psychoanalytic work attends not only to what troubles you, but also to the unconscious processes that may contribute to recurring difficulties.

Finding a practitioner whose approach feels right for you can be difficult, particularly if you live in a rural area, have a demanding schedule, travel regularly or live abroad. You may be trying to find a psychoanalyst near you, searching for online psychoanalysis, or looking for a psychoanalytic therapist who offers the opportunity to engage in sustained, depth-oriented work.

Online psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers the opportunity to engage in this work from a private space of your own, wherever you are.

I offer online psychotherapy to adults in Ireland, the UK and elsewhere in Europe.

What is online psychoanalytic psychotherapy?

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is concerned not only with the difficulties you experience, but also with the patterns, relationships and unconscious processes that may contribute to them. Sometimes described as depth psychotherapy, psychoanalytic work offers an opportunity to explore what may be less immediately apparent in your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

You might find yourself returning to familiar difficulties in relationships, struggling with anxiety that seems difficult to explain, experiencing emotional difficulties, or feeling caught in ways of thinking and responding that you have tried to change.

You may already understand a great deal about yourself and still find that something continues to repeat.

The work offers an opportunity to explore these experiences through speaking, allowing thoughts, feelings and patterns to emerge and be considered over time. Whether you are looking for online psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy online or online depth psychotherapy, the focus is on your particular experiences.

Can psychoanalytic psychotherapy take place online?

Online sessions provide a way of engaging in regular psychotherapy without travelling to a consulting room. Online therapy can make the work more accessible for people living in rural areas, those with demanding schedules, people who travel regularly, or those who find it difficult to access a psychoanalyst or psychotherapist locally.

For some, online psychotherapy in Ireland offers access to a practitioner outside their immediate area. Others may be looking for online psychotherapy in the UK, online psychotherapy in Europe, or online psychotherapy for expats who are living away from their home country. Online psychoanalysis abroad may also be an option for some people.

Online sessions take place by video, allowing you to engage in depth work from a private space of your own. It is important to have a suitable, private environment where you can speak comfortably and confidentially.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy involves sustained attention to your experiences and to what emerges through speaking. The possibility of doing meaningful depth work by video does not depend solely on being physically present in the same room. However, the suitability of online or in-person psychoanalysis depends on your individual circumstances and needs.

If you decide to make contact, we can explore what has brought you to consider therapy and whether this approach is appropriate for you. Where another form of support or a different treatment option may be more suitable, this can also be discussed.

Who might consider online psychoanalytic psychotherapy?

People come to psychotherapy for many different reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, anxiety and depression, difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, a lack of confidence, grief, loss or the effects of complex experiences.

You may notice that certain patterns recur, even when you recognise them and want things to be different. Perhaps you find yourself in similar relationship difficulties, experience recurring anxieties, struggle with anger, or feel that something in your life is not quite right without being able to put it fully into words.

You may have tried to address these difficulties before, or spent considerable time trying to understand them, yet find that they continue to affect your life. Online therapy for anxiety or online psychotherapy for relationship difficulties can provide an opportunity to explore these experiences in greater depth.

There is no need to have a complete understanding of your difficulties before beginning. The work provides a space in which these experiences can be explored and understood in their own terms.
