Dr David Ferraro
Clinical Psychologist
“A Lacanian psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist in Melbourne.”
About Me
This Melbourne-based practice offers a unique space for deep exploration, guided by clinical psychology and Lacanian psychoanalysis. Here, a focus on attentive listening helps unravel complex feelings and unconscious patterns shaping your life. This approach suits those seeking profound self-understanding, aiming to make sense of persistent difficulties. Our collaborative work invites a journey of discovery, fostering lasting change.
Approach
Lacanian theory and clinical psychology shape how sessions unfold, orienting attention to the stories and slips that hint at deeper structure. I see people in Melbourne and via secure online appointments in English, holding a steady, predictable frame that supports careful exploration of difficult feelings. Sessions move at a measured pace: we notice repeating patterns in speech, dreams and relationships, and I offer reflective observations to help you make sense of material between appointments. This approach suits those seeking depth and clearer self-knowledge amid anxiety, mood or relationship challenges.
