Ms Cathy Rogers, MSW
Psychoanalyst
verified by TherapyRoute
“I trained for almost a decade to become a psychoanalyst but was already an experienced psychotherapist, working with all ages of people in different modalities like family, group, couple and individual work. I research and write about art and psychoanalysis, attracting many creative people who seek to resolve their blocks, conflicts, unconscious patterns and dreams. I have published and presented my work locally and internationally. I also teach and supervise colleagues.”
About Me
I am easy to talk to and kind, but also firm once we establish the goals and focus of our work. This work is often difficult and painful so my attitude and my garden setting, with the sound of birds and water, helps to bring a natural inner calmness. I have an interest in art and creativity, writing and researching this extensively. This leads many creative people to seek consultations.
Approach
My approach is psychoanalytic which means that you will soon understand yourself better so that you will make your own informed decisions, rather than receive advice. This understanding is built from your gradual trust in me - our totally confidential relationship and the professional role I sustain. Together we find your goals and address ineffective methods and patterns in your conflict resolutions - how they evolved and how they still play out. This involves recognising your repetitions, the unconscious forces at play, dreams and may include the various forms of the arts you engage in.

Basic Information
Services
I offer psychoanalysis to adults and some adolescents. This involves a method called free association, which can often, but not always, involve lying on a couch to develop a self focus. Sessions are sequentially 3 to 4 times a week to reach the depth and intensity of an effective intervention for those seeking depth work to resolve an entrenched problem.
I offer psychotherapy which is a twice or once weekly meeting in which patterns and threads of conflicts are slowly resolved.
I have a limited child therapy and couple practice.
