What is Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy?

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is a powerful, highly effective treatment approach for many people struggling with difficult emotions. In the words of Sigmund Freud, “Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” This form of therapy can help unearth and process unconscious emotions, paving the way for psychological growth.

What is the length and frequency of sessions?

This is discussed during the initial consultation. Lilli orients the work by the singular needs of each person and on the basis how to best address those needs. Quite commonly therapeutic work starts with one weekly session.

However, the sessions can be also more frequent, depending on each person’s life situation as well as variable in length.

Who is it for?

Reasons for seeking therapy are varied and different for each person. Engagement with therapeutic work can be helpful when a person is feeling depressed, stressed or anxious, and it can bring about both immediate relief and long term benefits.

People seek psychotherapy for interpersonal difficulties - perhaps because of distressing patterns which cause suffering repeatedly, and therefore there may be a need to address them. Others seek therapy when they experience a crisis or are struggling to cope with, for example, grief and bereavement, anxiety or relationship issues.

Reasons for seeking psychoanalytic psychotherapy can also be a particular question on life and on subjectivity, something a person wants to explore and understand better.

Lilli accepts private referrals and works with both Finnish and English speaking individuals; adults and adolescents.
