CHRISTOPHER KIDD
PSYCHOANALYTICAL PSYCHOTHERAPY

Seeking help can be a difficult and courageous step. Life’s journey is filled with complex emotions, experiences and challenges that sometimes feel overwhelming. You might be here because you are struggling with anxiety, depression or unresolved trauma. Perhaps you’re facing relationship issues, feeling stuck in your personal or professional life, or experiencing a sense of emptiness or lack of direction.

I provide a safe, confidential space to explore these feelings and experiences. Together we will delve into the unconscious patterns and past experiences that influence your current thoughts and behaviours. Through this deep exploration we can uncover insights and create meaningful change.

Taking the first step towards seeking help is a profound act of self care. Whether you’re looking to understand yourself better, heal from past wounds, or find new ways to cope with life's challenges, I am here to support you on this transformative journey.

"I had a few sessions with Chris following my separation from my husband. Having never had counselling before I was unsure what to expect but Chris was friendly and approachable making it easy to talk to him. His insights into my relationship issues were quick and very accurate. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone."
