Robert Peter Hobson

I would welcome contact from anyone who wishes to get to grips with his or her emotional life. This may be prompted by your experience of anxiety, depression, or difficulties in relationships, or may stem from a wish to know more about yourself and to find additional depth and fulfilment in life. I am a fully trained psychoanalyst, with many years’ experience conducting short-term as well as longer-term psychotherapy. In psychoanalytic treatment, clients discover the source of emotional difficulties through close examination of the relationship with the therapist – and through therapy, they develop new ways of managing feelings and relationships. In London, as psychiatrist and UCL professor, I saw a broad range of patients for psychotherapy at the renowned Tavistock Clinic. I take a disciplined approach to uncovering and understanding the truth of clients’ mental life. This can remove obstacles to development and enhance capacities to work, love and play .
