Welcome
to Auckland Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
My name is Crispin Balfour and I work
with individuals, couples and groups.
I also offer professional supervision to
therapists, managers and artists.
I am an experienced Registered Psychotherapist (PBANZ) and
a member of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists
(NZAP). My clinic is located in Wellpark Avenue, Grey Lynn,
Auckland, New Zealand.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a powerful approach to
mental and emotional development which makes good use of
our remarkably human ability to allow one thing to stand
for another, and works with the unconscious forces that
shape our lives.
I have been training in psychotherapy since 1995 originally
from a background in counselling, architecture, theatre and
business. I started as a psychosynthesis psychotherapist
and taught psychosynthesis for ten years. I then became
increasingly interested in psychoanalysis and the
interaction of the two ways of thinking. Now I practice
psychoanalytic psychotherapy, but my practice is informed
by psychosynthesis.
