Confidentiality is the cornerstone of a successful exploration in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Your privacy will be respected.
I will not ask you for a testimonial when your time with me comes to an end as this would compromise your freedom to go on thinking and evaluating: the need, in the years after therapy ends, to engage in continuing to 'work through' positive and negative feelings that you had during the time you spend with me, is a crucial part of psychoanalytic and therapeutic work. A stated aim of our work is that the thinking processes that was started while in treatment will go on internally as you continue to live your life.
