Mr John Spearman

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“I'm an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist, trained to work alongside you to understand and respond to the causes of your distress.”

About Me

I'm an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist, here to work alongside you. We can gently explore the deeper roots of your distress. Feeling stuck, repeating patterns, or persistent feelings? We'll uncover how past experiences shape your present. I offer a consistent, thoughtful space to make connections, helping you gain lasting insight. This approach suits those ready to truly understand themselves and find new ways to respond.

Approach

We’ll move from question to careful exploration by sitting with what emerges in the room and naming patterns as they appear. In London or online, in English, sessions are steady and paced to your needs: we’ll follow threads from current worries back to earlier relationships, notice how you feel in the here-and-now of our meetings, and bring those observations into simple reflections between sessions when helpful. This way of working often suits people ready to understand recurring reactions and try different responses.
