Peter Rigg

I’m a classical Freudian psychodynamic psychotherapist. I like this approach because it’s based on solid foundations: our thoughts and feelings are rooted in our bodies; and the unconscious works in unexpected ways as it tries to resolve mental conflicts that arise from them.
Effective psychotherapy helps us to notice what we’re doing in our lives, and what we’re trying to do, and it reconciles us with the thoughts and feelings we try our best to wish away. In the end life is difficult, simply because reality won’t behave as we’d like it to, but if it goes well, an analytic treatment really can help a person to live.
Coming for a preliminary session or two is the best way to judge whether this approach might be helpful to you. If you’re interested, then please, send me an email and we can arrange an appointment.
