Who we are

We are the largest and oldest psychoanalytic organisation in the UK. With around 400 members, we are an international community of professionals, dedicated to helping people enhance their lives through an intensive talking therapy, psychoanalysis. 

Our members represent a diverse range of countries and cultures, and are able to provide psychoanalytic treatment in many different languages. Many of our members work in organisations such as the NHS, while others have their own private practices. Many also work at leading universities.

As a training body, we aim for the highest standards of excellence. All our members go through a training process that is world-renowned for its rigour, and recognised by the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). Most of our members are also registrants of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).

We would love you to join us for one of the many public events, lectures and conferences we run throughout the year, to learn more about psychoanalytic theories and the different ways they can be applied.
