If you are looking for Psychotherapy/Psychoanalysis in Bath and are considering a form of “talk therapy,” your first thought may be to wonder if you will be expected to lie on a couch whilst I smoke a pipe and take notes behind you. Fortunately, things have progressed a very long way since the days of Sigmund Freud.
As a psychological treatment, individual analysis (psychoanalysis) is considered to be a method of psychotherapy that can be very useful if you are struggling with enduring issues related to the way you feel/think about yourself, the world, and those you are close to: friends, colleagues, partners, parents, children.
Ken Blanton provides Psychotherapy/Psychoanalysis in Bath using psychodynamic and psychoanalytic techniques, and is amember of the Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists (IGAP), registered with the UKCP.
Ken has always held an empathic interest in people and the genuine sense of struggle that a person can experience, both emotionally and the ways in which they understand it.
The fundamental goal of Jungian analysis is to build a vital relationship between the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind so that psychic development can be on-going. Rather than regarding the unconscious merely as the storehouse of repressed memories, Jung viewed it as the wellspring of psychic energy and healing. He acknowledged the importance of understanding how the deficits and trauma of our history influence us, but stressed the need to look to the future as well, to understand our inner urge to become the unique individuals that we each have the potential to be.
