Andrei has received his psychoanalytic training at St. Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin. He has focused on helping individuals to improve their mental health and to work in the alleviation of a range of personal difficulties. His areas of expertise include trauma, loss, grief, bereavement, anxiety, self-harm, addiction, eating disorders, stress, depression, gender issues, sexual identity, relationship difficulties, phobias, chronic fatigue, loneliness and isolation. He uses a psychoanalytical approach to help people to explore how the unconscious mind affects current relationships and patterns of thought, emotion and behavior, especially in the context of continually experiencing loss and traumatic events.

Underpinning Philosophy: Andrei has a particular interest in helping people exposed to loss and trauma, to become aware of the underlying sources of their difficulties, intellectually and emotionally, and to develop coping skills that would allow them to deal with the realities of their life situation. He offers a talking therapy which rather than trying to get rid of the problem allows individuals to come to understand the experiences which have shaped their lives and are affecting their ability to deal with current difficulties. This understanding has
the aim of helping them to bring about a major change in their whole perspective on life.
