Psychoanalytic Counselling in Cambridge
I am interested in the problem of how we might find ways of being with one another or relating, as well as how we might go about living and loving in a world that too often feels confusing, unpredictable and painful. My approach is informed by literature, Buddhist philosophy, the natural world and psychoanalytic theory. I am a member of the UKCP, the Philadelphia Association and the East Anglian Psychotherapy Network and am also a trustee of the Cambridge Psychotherapy Assistance Trust, which offers grants to people who may not be in a position to afford the full cost of psychotherapy.

I work as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and a neuropsychoanalyst, which means we look together at how your past experiences continue to shape your present experiences and the choices you make.
We all might experience difficult times in life; feeling complicated feelings and struggling to understand what is going on for you and why is a normal occurrence. Using my knowledge and extensive experience as a psychotherapist I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to explore your issues and reflect on your situation. A greater understanding of your internal world will enable you to gain insight into how you operate and understand yourself better. The therapeutic process will enable you to change your life and your relationships. I offer a safe space to faciliate the delicate journey of exploring.

Underpinning psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a vast body of work that began with Freud, but the theory doesn't have an overt presence in the room. Psychotherapy in practice is more a process of discovery for both therapist and client. It can be challenging, exciting, frightening – even funny – as we both try to better understand the circumstances and patterns that have brought you to therapy. I offer an initial session for £30, which of course holds no obligation to continue.

This includes humanistic, person centred, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, developmental, as well as others.
I am a trained psychotherapeutic counsellor offering short-term and long term counselling via zoom. I create an environment that allows my clients the opportunity to reflect on events and situations that they have previously experienced, whether that is from their childhood or more recently or indeed currently facing. We will explore the impacts that these past or current circumstances are having on you and how you interact with the world around you in a safe setting. I offer sessions where this can be done with the hope that you may get to know and understand yourself better and why you are the way you are, unique.

The modality of therapy I offer is psychoanalytic: this means that the problems brought to the sessions are not treated only as a cause of suffering but also as a source of knowledge useful to bring about change.
Perhaps you are looking for help to find your bearings while going through a time of crisis and/or you who wish to examine your life more fully to address issues that have affected you over time. With the help of therapy, you can start understanding your inner world and thought patterns more clearly and remove the feelings of anxiety and worry from your mind. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy aims to go deep into your emotions, understanding how your early life has formed strategies that might contribute to unhelpful patterns in adulthood with the aim of gradually removing distress, helping you to live a fuller life.

I am a Lacanian psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with 25 years of experience. I treat eating disorders such as bulimia, anorexia and obesity, and addictions such as to nicotine, cannabis, gambling, sex, chocolate, tea and coffee. After my training in medicine (Oxford, Cambridge) I worked in London and at the American Hospital of Paris. To specialize, I trained in psychiatry and psychoanalysis (with Jacques Lacan at the École Freudienne) in Paris. For many years I was a Consultant Psychiatrist at Saint Anne’s Hospital in Paris. For the last twenty years I have worked as a specialised psychotherapist. Do take a look at my website.

I work with infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, and their parents. My expertise lies in parent-child relationships, anxiety in early childhood and adolescence, ASD and trauma. I believe that both the parent and the child are integral to the therapeutic process. Sometimes the parent will be present in the therapy room, and at other times, the child and the parent will attend separately. The medium of therapy with the child depends on their age; for younger children, therapy involves play and play-based activities, gradually transitioning to a more conversational approach as they grow older.

When you are overwhelmed with challenges in life, feel stuck, or deal with mental health issues, devastating loss or trauma, it is helpful to talk with someone who can guide and support you. Counselling can help you sort through the things in your life that are important to you. When you feel understood and cared for, hopelessness leaves the room. You can then grow in courage to walk your journey without being alone.

Life can become extremely difficult: things may seem overwhelming and out of control following a recent event or trauma; possibly something from your past has returned to worry you; or you realise that you need to finally tackle something you have been suffering with for a long time; perhaps you need to make an important decision and can’t think how to do so; or maybe you are plagued with anxiety or unhappy but with no clear idea as to why. Talking to someone and being fully listened to, without being judged, can be the start of a process of coming to terms with difficult and traumatic experiences.

Hello, I am Dr Rima Lamba. I'm a feminist counselling psychologist with an interest in the unique experiences of women from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I work closely with women who have struggled with self esteem & identity, relationship issues, difficulties in motherhood, life transitions, attachment and early trauma, and transgenerational trauma. I am particularly interested in the structural power differences that impact people, so I work closely on issues to do with patriarchy, race, culture and more. I also work with a team of therapists who can support clients, including adult families.

Psychoanalytic Counsellors
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviours. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behaviour is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
