About me

My name is Dr Laura Chernaik. I am a psychoanalyst, psychoanalytical psychotherapist, and supervisor. I offer open-ended psychoanalysis, psychoanalytical psychotherapy, or supervision in East London : Leyton, Walthamstow, Dalston, and Hackney. If you are interested in walk-and-talk, Walthamstow and Hackney Marshes are nearby. Psychoanalytical sessions can be once-weekly or 2-4 times a week. I have good availability for 2-4 times psychoanalysis or once-weekly psychoanalytical psychotherapy starting now or in September. I also have good availability for supervision, whether weekly (for trainees), or fortnightly or monthly. Please get in touch if you are interested in starting therapy or analysis or supervision. I also have space available for couples therapy. I offer a free 20 minute video-chat to anyone considering psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, couples therapy, or looking for a supervisor. Please email me to find a good time for a free 20 minute consultation. As a psychoanalyst and supervisor, my approach is based on listening. A psychoanalytical approach emphasises thoughtfulness and change; care and compassion are the heart of the work.Together, we can explore a new way of being in the world. It's rare to be truly listened to, and that's what psychoanalysis or psychotherapy offer--a chance to be heard, a chance to explore your feelings and ideas. Do you want time and space to talk? I'll listen. That's the heart of psychoanalysis. Are you anxious or depressed? Do you sometimes wonder what effect the past has had on you? Do you have questions about relationships and sexuality? Artistic practices, from writing to the visual arts, are a particular interest of mine. Would you like to talk through ideas for your artistic practice? Are you working on interdisciplinary or experimental genres and would you like to explore relations between theory and practice? Having had an international clientele for many years, I have extensive experience of working online. Sessions can be in-person in my consulting room in East London, online by video-call, or walk-and-talk in Hackney and Walthamstow Marshes. I also work with couples. If you are interested in couples therapy (£135 per session, free 20 minute consultation), please contact me I offer psychoanalytical and reflective supervision for practitioners and trainees, including work with psychoanalytical, psychotherapeutic, or psychodynamic trainees, psychiatric social workers, art therapists, clinical psychologists, and others wishing to reflect on the psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytical aspects of their work with clients. If you would like to reflect on the psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytical aspects of your work with clients, please contact me. Supervision can be weekly (for trainees) or fortnightly or monthly (for practitioners).

I offer free 20 minute video appointments for people who are considering psychoanalysis or psychotherapy or looking for supervision.
