Our work is guided by Psychoanalysis; that is - Psychology with a Psychoanalytic approach -, in this sense, we work with the concept of the unconscious – a concept developed by Sigmund Freud.

In this way, we perform the therapy based on communication where we enable the individual to talk about their suffering. Clinical practice involves encouraging the patient to explore who they believe they are and how they perceive themselves, as well as how they present to themselves and others.

Our role is to help the patient in the search for personal development and the reduction of suffering, anguish and their related symptoms.

But here you are the one who master’s how to lead your life. We are here to assist. Your life is yours, and any therapeutic conversation should be centred on freedom for you to be and become more and more who you really are and want to be.

Psychoanalysis seeks to promote well-being, so if the issue in focus is related to a current episode, that will be the subject to be addressed.

The Analysis

Analysis is a practice. The psychoanalytic technique is based on Free Association, that is, the patient is invited to talk about whatever comes to mind, without fear of whether that content is important or not. This is because we understand that the unconscious manifests itself through language and the various "connections" that we establish between things, events and people in our history. Our therapeutic room is an open space to speak freely and be listened to without judgement.

Analysis returns to the past when the elaboration of an event is necessary to understand the current moment. Even so, the return to old memories is established by the patient, as they must be willing and able to talk about them and wish to include them in the sessions.

The primary object of work in an analysis session is the unconscious; Through manifestations of this, the therapist helps the patient to get in touch with internal contents that are still unknown and thus achieve the objective of a therapeutic process.

Understanding the fundamental role of psychotherapy is essential. In psychotherapy, we directly work on complaints related to the individual's internal conflicts, which usually cause discomfort in people's daily lives and in their relationships.

The professional of psychology strives to search for the origins of frustrations and discomforts, to understand and discuss them, aiming to make the person's life easier and more comfortable.

Methodology

There are several approaches in the area of psychology, each approach has its methods and techniques, each with its own importance. But what is perceived as effective in the psychotherapeutic process is the patient’s engagement and the bond created with the psychologist, a relationship based on the empathy and trust I what the patient feels about the professional

In Psychoanalysis the treatment is not directed by the professional, but rather guided by the patient's own content and time, valuing their own knowledge and building on it, which values their subjectivity and allows for greater depth into their unconscious.

Psychoanalysis provides transformation through listening, through words, through the amount of availability the analysand wants to invest. It is a meeting of the duo rooted in the transference relationship and its complexity. Above all, it is a method that helps the analysand to adapt to their reality, within their possibilities, and to increase their emotional intelligence.

We often tend to avoid contact with situations and emotions that cause us discomfort, inconvenience or pain (physical or mental). In practice, this means that we will almost always try to sweep those emotions that distress us under the rug.

Try, for example, telling someone you know that you are sad or upset. The person will almost always tell you to let it go. And many times, you yourself will struggle with some unpleasant thought or affect that insists on invading your mind like a foreign body.

The psychologist's role is precisely the opposite of this: he will be prepared not only to listen to you (as a friend would do), but also to help you learn to accept your emotions, both pleasant and unpleasant. The professional will also help you reveal aspects of yourself that you would not be able to discover on your own.

The purpose of psychotherapy or analysis is to walk together.
