Kelly Anne

Ms Kelly Anne Bild

Clinical Psychologist

I am an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist and candidate psychoanalyst working intensively and long term with what I call 'problems in living' and beyond!

About Me

I work with individuals grappling with persistent emotional challenges, what I call 'problems in living', and the deeper questions beyond. My psychoanalytic approach helps you explore long-standing patterns and unconscious dynamics shaping your present. We create a space where you can talk freely, making connections between your past experiences and current difficulties. This process offers profound insight, ideal for those seeking lasting change and a deeper understanding of themselves.

Approach

With an emphasis on exploring recurring emotional patterns and the questions that sit beneath them, I focus on how change unfolds session by session. Based in Craighall, I offer English-language sessions in person and online, keeping a steady, measured pace that balances reflection with practical noticing. Sessions are collaborative: we pause to trace feelings, bodily signals and relational moments, reflect between meetings, and use clinical thinking to link past influences with current choices. People seeking thoughtful, enduring shifts tend to find this psychoanalytic approach helpful.
