Psychoanalyst West London

Welcome to my website..

My name is David Polak. I trained for five years with the British Psychoanalytic Association to become a qualified psychoanalyst. I am registered with both the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council) and IPA (International Psychoanalytic Association). I am also a qualified psychotherapist, with over twenty years of varied clinical experience.

I work in Maida Vale, West London, offering psychoanalysis, two to four sessions a week in my private practice. I originally trained as a psychotherapist and then undertook further training to become a psychoanalyst later in my career, when I recognised the need and value of offering more intensive psychological work.

While psychotherapy can be helpful, psychoanalysis offers a deeper and more thorough exploration of the personality as a whole. Through regular weekly sessions, meeting up to four times a week, lying on the couch and exploring what comes to your mind, we can begin to uncover the roots of your difficulties, which will lead to more lasting positive changes in your life.

It’s important to have an initial consultation first, in order to discuss your situation and decide if we can work together and your suitability for analysis. You can use my Contact Page to get in touch and I will normally reply within 24 hours.
