A place to speak, where something not yet known begins to take form.
Psychoanalytic Therapy in Sydney
A Space for Psychoanalytic Work
I offer psychoanalytic therapy and counselling in Sydney, and online across Australia. This work creates a space where recurring thoughts, emotional difficulties, and patterns in life can be approached through speech, allowing what is not yet fully understood to take form and be changed. In this way, each person’s story is given space to unfold with care, patience, and depth.
An Ethical Psychoanalytic Practice
Psychoanalysis is oriented toward creating a space where people can speak freely without pressure to explain themselves, perform, or reach conclusions too quickly. The aim is not to judge, correct, or guide, but to listen carefully and without haste to what emerges in speech.
The work is grounded in respect for each person’s experience and for the singular ways individuals make sense of their lives. Attention is given to what feels difficult, contradictory, or unclear, recognising that these moments often carry meaning rather than error. In the psychoanalytic setting, difference is not something to be resolved, but something to be held.
What Brings People Here
Psychoanalysis sessions may address a wide range of experiences, including but not limited to:
- Anxiety, stress, and emotional pressure
- Depression, low mood, and persistent emptiness
- Relationship and communication difficulties
- Life transitions and periods of uncertainty
- Questions of identity, direction, and meaning
- Repetitive patterns that feel difficult to shift
- Trauma and emotionally overwhelming experiences
This list is not exhaustive. At the Underthought, psychoanalytic therapy is shaped by what each person brings rather than by predefined categories.
Who I Work With
My practice offers psychoanalytic therapy and counselling in Sydney for teenagers and adults from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds.
Some people come to therapy with a clear concern, while others arrive with a more general sense that something is not quite settled. Both are welcome.
No referral is required to begin therapy.

A First Meeting
If you are considering therapy, a first meeting offers space to speak about what brings you to here, ask questions, and get a sense whether this way of working feels right for you.
The first meeting (50 minutes) is offered without fee. There is no obligation to continue after the first meeting.
You are welcome to reach out with questions before arranging a meeting.
