Psychoanalyst and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

Lacanian Psychoanalysis in English, Spanish or Italian “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯.” Leonard Cohen Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship or parenting difficulties? Are you an expat, multilingual person or TCK facing life changes, culture shock or questions of identity? Are you involved in the arts or another creative field and dealing with creativity, motivation, performance anxiety or stage fright? Psychoanalytic treatment can bring relief from symptoms, improve quality of life, and help you make choices with greater freedom, less burdened by the past. I am a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist practising in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where I founded the International Center for Lacanian Psychoanalysis. I trained in three countries and work under continuous supervision. I am bound by professional ethical codes, and what is said in sessions remains confidential. As a long-time expat, I am particularly attentive to expatriates, TCKs and multilingual clients. My parallel career as a professional musician and arts administrator also informs my work with people for whom creativity and performance are central to their lives. CLINICAL PRACTICE My practice focuses on creative professionals, expatriates and people undergoing cultural transitions, with particular attention to anxiety, relationships, identity and difficulties arising from major personal or cultural changes. My work is grounded in the clinical experience of Jacques Lacan and Sigmund Freud and informed by contemporary Lacanian practice. TRAINING & TEACHING I completed my analytic training at the Sección Clínica de Madrid (NUCEP – Instituto del Campo Freudiano), obtaining the Certificate of Clinical Studies in 2023 with a dissertation on the voice as object a. I participate in the New Lacanian School and the World Association of Psychoanalysis and am Delegate of the Bureau of Das Freudsche Ding – Austria, an affiliated group of the NLS. I lecture in Theory and Clinic of Lacanian Psychoanalysis and regularly give masterclasses at institutions including the Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Royal Danish Academy and Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts. ARTISTIC CAREER As a clarinetist, I perform internationally and am a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York. I was principal clarinetist of Ensemble MidtVest in Denmark for fourteen years and have appeared on twenty-five recordings, including internationally award-nominated releases. I am also founder and artistic director of the Schackenborg Musikfest in Denmark. WHAT IS LACANIAN PSYCHOANALYSIS? Lacanian psychoanalysis explores how language, the unconscious, desire and personal history shape your inner world and relationships. Rather than simply seeking to silence symptoms, it listens to what they may be saying in your life. You are invited to speak freely, without censoring yourself or having to make your experience fit a coherent story. Hesitations, contradictions, memories, dreams and unexpected associations are all welcome. The work follows your own words rather than a fixed protocol. Psychoanalysis offers: • Speaking freely — nothing needs to be prepared or made coherent first. • Your own words — the work follows what you say. • The symptom taken seriously — what troubles you is explored rather than simply removed. • A variable rhythm — frequency and session length follow the treatment. • No predetermined endpoint. Treatment is available in Ljubljana or remotely in English, Italian or Spanish. “𝘈 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘺... 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶.” Jacques-Alain Miller
