Lawrence Kilshaw, Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
Email meAbout me
Getting to the heart of what's going on is the only way to ensure gains will last into the long term, to my mind. I'm also especially alert to the context of any issues that you might want to address, as well as history where that is relevant. I believe that feeling comfortable with your psychotherapist is important and put particular efforts into that.
My particular specialism is in Attachment Theory and I also draw heavily on the most recent developments in psychoanalysis. There are more details about how I work on my website. I offer daytime and evening appointments in the City and Islington. If you want to be in touch, I aim to respond to any message within one working day.
