Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

In this section of the NSCAP website you will find information about psychoanalytic psychotherapy for children, adolescents and families and also for adults.  NSCAP is a training, development and research centre which draws upon our staff's extensive experience in the NHS and other sectors. 

Information for children, young people, parents and carers

There is information you might find helpful on the Guides to Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy page.  Alternatively you may want to look at the YoungMinds website which has lots of useful information about common emotional and mental health problems and how to access help and support.

If you are looking for a qualified Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist the Association of Child Psychotherapists may be able to help. If you are an adult looking for a psychoanalyst or psychoanalytic psychotherapist please go to the British Psychoanalytic Council.
