Mr James O’Shea

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“I have thirty years experience of working in mental health services and the NHS.”

About Me

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy, providing a space to deeply explore long-standing patterns. My thirty years of experience in mental health services and the NHS enables me to guide individuals. We work together to understand how your past shapes your present, uncovering underlying dynamics for lasting change. This approach suits those ready to delve into recurring difficulties, finding clarity and a path towards greater self-awareness.

Approach

After decades in clinical practice my focus is on careful, curious listening that lets patterns surface at a manageable pace. In Lincoln and online, sessions are regular and held in English, with an emphasis on noticing how you relate to others now as a route into earlier histories. I gently track themes between sessions and invite you to reflect on responses in daily life so insights become practical. This way of working tends to suit adults and couples ready for thoughtful, sustained exploration.
