Analysis provides a unique opportunity for intensive exploration of the personality and underlying patterns of behaviour. It can bring about deep-seated change. Analysts must undergo analysis themselves in order to work in depth.

Analysis is a process that fosters patients' understanding of themselves and their difficulties and the way they relate to others. At the core of the process is the relationship with the analyst. The patient and the analyst work together to explore troublesome, and often longstanding, conflicts that disturb and limit vitality in the present.

It may be helpful to have an initial consultation to decide whether analysis is the most suitable treatment. It is difficult to say at the outset how long an analysis may last. It is a process that develops at its own pace and its length depends on the aims and needs of the individual concerned. Sessions last for 50 minutes and are held on a regualr basis. The frequency of sessions is decided in discussion with the analyst but may be as often as four or five times a week. Most analysts in the Society of Analytical Psychology see patients less frequently for psychotherapy.
