Giuseppe Manca

I am accepting new patients on Sunday (1-4) afternoons and Fridays.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, trained in object relations—a branch of psychoanalytic thought focused on how early relationships shape adult patterns and emotional life.

My approach helps patients explore and understand patterns of behaviour and attachment that may cause distress.

Psychodynamic therapy explores how childhood experiences shape adult emotions and behaviour, in a non-judgmental and supportive environment.

Sessions often begin with your reasons for seeking therapy, but can expand to other areas as needed. Therapy supports discovering unconscious influences on current difficulties.

By identifying these unconscious dynamics, therapy can enhance emotional stability and resilience. I tailor sessions to each individual, supporting concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loneliness, and loss.

A strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is central to effective psychodynamic therapy, with your needs always at the centre.

While psychodynamic therapy is my primary approach, I can also offer EMDR for trauma when appropriate.

The first session is exploratory. Together, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and how I may be able to help.

We will explore your concerns in depth and determine how best to work together.

At the end of the session, I will suggest a potential therapeutic plan according to your needs, provided you intend to carry on your therapy with me.

If I determine that, for some reason, I am not the best fit for your needs, I will do my best to suggest a trusted referral. Your well-being is always my priority.
