Ms Jan Campbell Thompson

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“Psychoanalytic psychotherapist practised in exploring individual psychic experiences. Trauma Specialist. Skype/Phone/in Person”

About Me

When past experiences or unseen patterns weigh heavily, this psychoanalytic psychotherapist helps individuals explore their unique psychic experiences. As a trauma specialist, they understand how deep-seated events can impact present well-being. Sessions gently uncover underlying influences, fostering a deeper understanding of oneself. This approach suits those ready to delve into their inner world, finding new ways forward. Sessions are available online or in person.

Approach

Practised attention to the inner world shapes how I work: sessions unfold with patient curiosity, listening for repetitive patterns, dreams and the quieter threads that link past and present. I offer this space from Byron Bay and by phone or video in English, keeping a steady, contained pace so you can bring material as it emerges. Together we gently trace trauma's echoes, reflect between meetings and test new ways of relating to yourself and others. This way of working often suits people seeking depth, clarity and sustainable change.
