Our members work within the psychoanalytic tradition, which seeks to understand the unconscious origins of present difficulties. The pattern of early life experience may be repeated in the relationship with the therapist, something known as transference. AIP members draw on the work of Freud, Jung, Klein, Winnicott and others in helping their clients discover images and words to express the meaning of life's journey. We will arrange an initial consultation for you with a qualified and experienced member of the AIP. Here you can talk in confidence about what has brought you to this point in your life and whether psychotherapy is appropriate for you at this time. You will also be able to discuss practical issues such as fees and frequency of sessions. If you wish to go ahead, you will be referred to a suitable practitioner. The cost of the initial consultation and referral is £60. AIP therapists practise in: London, Avon, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Suffolk, Surrey, West Sussex.
