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 is 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 about how I work, the locations, etc. Meanwhile, if you do 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.
