Psychoanalytic Therapy in Sydney
Based in Sydney, The Underthought Psychoanalysis Practice offers professional counselling and psychoanalytic therapy for teenagers and adults. The work here invites a gentle engagement with thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. This allows each person’s story to unfold at its own pace, with care, patience, and depth.
How Therapy is Understood in This Practice
Therapy here offers a space to speak freely about what feels difficult, confusing, or unresolved. Whether you are experiencing distress, navigating change, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, sessions are shaped to support thoughtful engagement with your inner life and the questions that bring you to therapy.
An Ethical Practice
This practice 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 this setting, difference is not something to be resolved, but something to be held.
The Therapeutic Process
At the Underthought, therapy is understood as a process that unfolds over time. By offering a consistent and ethically grounded frame, the practice supports the possibility of insight, emotional movement, and a renewed relationship to oneself and to others. While the work takes place within the therapeutic room, its effects are not limited to it. Careful listening can shape how one lives, relates, and participates in the world.
Areas of Practice
Therapy sessions may address a wide range of experiences, including but not limited to:
- Questions of meaning, direction, and purpose
- Anxiety and ongoing stress
- Depression and mood-related difficulties
- Self-esteem and identity concerns
- Life transitions and personal change
- Relationship and communication difficulties
- Trauma and emotionally overwhelming experiences
This list is not exhaustive. Therapy is shaped by what each person brings, rather than by predefined categories.
Who I Work With
I work with 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.
An Invitation to Begin Therapy
If you are considering therapy, you are welcome to begin with a complementary first session (50 minutes). This initial meeting offers an opportunity to experience the therapeutic space, ask questions, and consider whether this way of working feels right for you.
You are welcome to contact The Underthought Psychoanalysis Practice for further information or to arrange an initial session.
