Building psychoanalytic capacity in the Northern Rivers
We feel strongly about the efficacy of psychoanalytic psychotherapy to help to assist the understanding of mental life.

Our focus is upon promoting the practice and teaching of psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the Northern Rivers region.
We provide therapeutic and supervisory services designed to assist in the building of a psychoanalytic capacity in the local community.

"Peace doesn't come from an external source or conquest,
but through our own courage.
The courage to cross our inner
thresholds, to become intimate with ourselves, our pain and fear."
