Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a process which helps clients understand and resolve their problems by increasing awareness of their inner world and its influence over relationships, both past and present. It is a form of psychotherapy which aims to help people with serious psychological disorders to understand and change complex, deep-seated and often unconsciously based emotional and relationship problems thereby reducing symptoms and alleviating distress.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is an effective treatment for a range of psychological disturbances. It is a process which seeks understanding and meaning in symptoms, behaviour patterns, and psychological disorders. It is not limited only to those with mental health problems. Many people who experience a loss of meaning in their lives or who are seeking a greater sense of fulfilment may be helped by psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
