This page lists Female Grief Psychoanalysts in London. 9 in all.
That is 9 of the 11 psychoanalysts listed in London.
These are practitioners who identify as female on their profile 1. We ask every therapist that question, and they may decline to answer. We do not check the answer, and nothing here is ranked.
This list answers an explicit request for a woman. While many people prefer this, we found no research on whether it changes how the therapy goes.
A client and a practitioner always differ; what matters is what that means to you and how you work with it 2. You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in.
When grief needs counselling, and when it does not
Grief is a normal response to a death rather than an illness. Most people come through it without treatment 3. Counselling helps some people carry it.
The work covers the person who died, the circumstances, and what has changed since. For a smaller number, grief stays intense and daily life does not resume. Clinicians call that prolonged grief disorder, and they treat it differently.
Grief does not run to a timetable. Say what kind of loss it was.
What a psychoanalyst does, and how often the sessions run
Everyone on this page describes their work as psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic therapy. You talk as freely as you can, and the analyst listens for patterns. The analyst also listens for how those patterns appear between you both.
Analysis usually means several meetings a week, agreed between you and the analyst. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy uses the same ideas once or twice a week.
The work runs open-ended rather than to a fixed number of sessions.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Female identity, the specialism recorded as Grief and the professional title psychoanalyst.
