Analysis is the process of listening, questioning, analysing, coaching and otherwise being proactive in the therapy process. It involves listening to patterns, language and history. It is vital for a range of therapies.

There are many forms of analysis. The most obvious are psychoanalysis and counselling based.  Others include hypno-analysis, public health coaching, coaching,  systems analysis (e.g. SSADM),  psychoanalytic systems analysis, behavioural analysis, cognitive behavioural analysis, applied behavioural analysis,  CBT, CBASP, and mindfulness based analysis.  Psychological analysis existed before Freud, alongside Freud in multiple cultures, and many types have been developed since Freud! Some traditionalists are trained for several years in one main form of psychological analysis or psychoanalysis and like to think that the terms psychoanalysis and psychoanalyst are somehow “owned” by that form of training (in reality they are simple word contractions and are not copyrighted). To be clear – Stuart is a traumatologist and analyst who is trained in multiple forms of therapy including multiple forms of psychological analysis. He is not and has never claimed to be an old school single model psychoanalyst of the Freudian, Jungian, Lacanian, Kleinian etc schools.

Analysis and counselling are part of the standard process of identifying needs for hypnotherapy and other complementary health therapy processes.  Obviously therapists need to observe NOS National Occupational Standards in doing their job.

Denise has also studied a range of environments.

BOTH therapists have worked with mental health, mental health management, counselling, and analytic / hypnotherapy support.

Clarity Statement re psychoanalysis:  I trained from 1993-6 in clinical hypnosis and (psychological) Analysis with IHP / ASM. This was a validated route for PSA AR registration with the CNHC under hypnotherapy. The analytic focus was on comparing and integrating the work of Freud and Jung with the older hypno-analytic methods.  I also completed 2 years accreditation with NACHP in clinical hypnosis, behavioural and psychoanalysis and counselling, also a CNHC validation route. Since then I have studied at Bachelors and Masters level at university in comparative forms of psychoanalysis and social psychoanalysis as part of philosophy and psychology degrees. I have also completed multiple Behavioural Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Analysis competency and certification trainings, as well as mindfulness analysis method training as part of Mindfulness Certification (these latter areas all require existing post graduate qualification). I have NOT however completed old fashioned psychoanalytic training with any traditional school. Traditional psychoanalysis of course has it’s place, but is not terribly useful in integrative evidenced based clinical work in the trauma field. I am clarifying this since traditionally trained counterparts and colleagues are rather precious about the terms “psychoanalysis” and “psychoanalyst” since they like to associate their trainings as being the only valid routes to these unregulated terms, which are actually simple contractions of “psychological analysis” and “psychological analysis”.  Since I am trained in psychological, mindful, philosophical, behavioural, systems and hypno-analytic forms of analysis, I am happy to clarify this point since I do not wish to misrepresent myself as only having traditional psychoanalytic training!  I do not use the title of psychoanalyst, although I do occasionally use the term Analyst. My actual job title is Traumatologist or Traumatic Stress Specialist.

What is psychoanalysis? The word is a simple contraction of psychological analysis, meaning the use of analytic methods in a psychological context. There are many forms of analysis used in psychological therapy, one of the oldest being hypno-analysis. Later came Freud and his peer group, post Freudians and then both behavioural and cognitive behavioural analysis methods. Alongside this were the many older methods dating back far further from within eastern psychology such as mindfulness based analysis. Some therapists who have trained in very traditional Freudian era methods like to claim the terms psychoanalysis and psychoanalyst as meaning a very narrow band of trainings rooted in very specific schools of therapeutic philosophy.  They do not see the terms as merely linguistic contractions, but rather something special they identify with. Most therapists and analysts in modern healthcare are evidence based, integrative and not restricted to one core “method”, instead using the most appropriate evidence based method for different client types.  Stuart is an integrative therapist and a specialist in traumatology, using the job title traumatologist. He is also qualified in a range of therapies within this context including analysis, rooted in a three year hypno-analysis and psycho-analysis based externally assessed diploma. He is trained in multiple forms of psychological and behavioural analysis and is absolutely not an old school psychoanalyst!

Stuart has also trained in CBASP competencies (Cognitive Behavioural Analysis Style of psychotherapy).
