psychoanalytic consultation

A psychoanalytic consultation gives a person the opportunity to take stock of their life and consider treatment options in a confidential and contained setting. There are usually at least two in-person meetings, each lasting an hour and a half.

psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy

In analysis, an individual attends a fifty-minute session four or five times a week. This intensive treatment lasts for several years. Over time, a unique relationship develops between patient and analyst that illuminates the ways in which past experiences, in both the internal and external worlds, are represented and repeated in the present. Insights gained through this work usually help lessen irrational beliefs, negative emotional states, adverse relational patterns and self destructive behaviour, with the aim of enabling a more realistic, healthy, and fulfilling life.

In psychoanalytic psychotherapy, a patient attends less frequently, from one to three times a week. Typically, this form of treatment lasts from two to five years.
