Ms Lucianne Grixti
Psychologist
“I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with children, adolescents, and adults who are seeking a deeper understanding of their internal emotional world. My approach is grounded in the belief that emotional difficulties often stem from complex, unconscious experiences that can be explored and worked through in the context of a safe and consistent therapeutic relationship. I work with people who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves, and who are looking for more than a quick fixes - those who want to understand the roots of their struggles and make lasting change. The people that I work with tend to be thoughtful, sensitive, and curious about themselves and their relationships. Psychotherapy or psychoanalysis provides a space to slow down, reflect, and begin to make sense of what has felt confusing or painful for some time.”
