A Psychoanalytic Approach to Therapy in Sydney

At the Underthought Psychoanalysis Practice, the work is grounded in a psychoanalytic orientation shaped by long-term study, careful listening, and clinical experience. Attention is given to speech — to what is said, repeated, interrupted, or left unspoken — and to how these movements come to organise a person’s experience of themselves and their relations to others.

Therapy here is not directed toward advice, instruction, or correction, but toward understanding. It proceeds through listening, allowing questions, conflicts, and desires to take form in their own time. The emphasis is not on solutions, but on making room for something new to be heard.

Sessions unfold at the client’s pace, within a respectful, confidential, and ethically grounded setting, where care is taken to meet each person as they are. The therapeutic relationship is approached as a space where meaning may shift and where previously unrecognised patterns can come into view.
