Ms Diane Sandler
Psychoanalyst
“I offer space for someone (adults, children, parents) who is struggling with symptoms and are often overwhelmed with states of mind and feelings. Or, may not feel they are living in their life sufficiently fully. Psychoanalysis offers time and space to explore and discover and emerge.”

About Me
I am a Clinical Psychologist, Psychoanalyst and Psychotherapist who has been working therapeutically with children and young adolescents(0-14) and their families, parents and adults for 36 years. I offer supervision and have taught on many training courses over the decades.
Approach
I offer a confidential, regular, ongoing space for someone to bring all of themselves. That which is known and that which is unknown. To offer a presence and attention to facilitate long lasting change. The psychoanalytic method aims to explore and understand and experience the depths and complexities of the mind, the self, the personality. In order to free and free up, that which has had to be repressed, split off or dissociated.

Basic Information
Services
I offer assessments of children and families to consider if a range of therapeutic interventions may be helpful. This includes parent work, parent -child therapy, individual therapy for a parent or a child.
Assessments aim to provide an understanding of the inner world of the child in the context of the family they have grown up in.
I offer long term psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to adults. Frequency may be offered from 1-5x/week.
