Lawrence Kilshaw, Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
Email meAbout me
The only way to ensure long term gains, to my mind, is to get to the heart of the matter. That's my aim, whether you are looking to address some specific issue or have a more general need to understand yourself better. I work in depth, drawing on attachment theory as well as psychoanalysis.
You can find out more on my website. Meanwhile, if you get in touch, I aim to respond within one working day. Starting psychotherapy can feel strange and I try to make it as comfortable as possible.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (through the Council for Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis) and ascribe to its Code of Ethics.
