The British Psychoanalytical Society was founded in 1913. With around 400 members, we are a UK wide and international community of professionals, dedicated to helping people enhance their lives through an intensive talking therapy, psychoanalysis. The Institute of Psychoanalysis is the outward face and training body of the British Psychoanalytic Society.

If you are feeling anxious, depressed or uncertain about the direction your life is taking, speaking to a psychoanalyst is one of the options you might like to consider. If that is the case, you can use our find an analyst search tool to find an Institute-trained analyst near you.

Alternatively, the Institute is home to two clinics, the London Clinic of Psychoanalysis and Clinical Services North, where you can arrange an initial consultation to see if this type of treatment is suited to you.

Psychoanalytic Help

Psychoanalysis is a highly effective psychological treatment that improves the lives of many people.

Psychoanalytic treatment consists of meeting with an analyst on a regular basis for sessions that last fifty minutes. This stable, confidential structure gives you and your analyst the chance to connect with and understand what is happening at a deeper level. By being so generous with time, attention and thought, psychoanalytic treatment can bring about authentic and lasting change, even when working with substantial emotional difficulties.

Psychoanalysis can significantly diminish psychological suffering and improve our health and wellbeing, opening up our capacity for greater fulfilment in life.

You can contact a psychoanalyst directly and personally to arrange a consultation, where the psychoanalyst you see, may be able to take you into treatment themselves or may refer you to a colleague.
