Professional Psychotherapy Consultations
Psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic Help
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is an exploratory relationship that seeks a deeper understanding of a person’s experience, with the aim of achieving lasting and beneficial change. It involves the mutual discovery that avoids assumptions and adheres to strict boundaries, including confidentiality and not meeting outside sessions.
The process of unravelling and making sense of experience can bring enormous relief, particularly with painful feelings that you may have buried in an attempt to protect yourself. It’s these repressed experiences that often appear in disguised form as symptoms.

Session
If your relationship needs attention, Marcus can see you as a couple, this is usually time-limited work over a few sessions.
PROCESS
I find that it usually takes between one and five consultations to know if you want to enter into psychotherapy, this is normally known as the assessment phase. I see people once or twice weekly, depending on the depth of therapy required.
The focus of the work is invariably the client’s emotional life, feelings, struggles, troubling experiences, and how these might unfold in the therapeutic relationship. Each person will use the therapy differently, there are no guarantees that it will help but often people have cited a relief to symptoms and have experienced positive changes in their lives.
Individual sessions are usually at the same time each week and last for 50 minutes. Sometimes people choose to lay on the couch, while others choose to remain seated face to face. Zoom sessions are also sometimes available.
