Simon Fisher founded Rodney Street Analytic Practice in 2000. He worked for universities, NHS Departments, private clinics, and community organisations. Born in Merseyside, he was educated in London, Israel, Texas, Germany, Italy, Israel, and Oxford. His initial academic passion was philosophy: especially German philosophy. His interest in psychoanalysis began whilst he was a research fellow at Oxford in the 1970s and '80s. After much analysis and clinical training he returned to Liverpool in 1990 for clinical work. Following two decades in NHS he became professional lead in psychotherapy. He now works part-time in private practice

ABOUT PSYCHOANALYSIS
Psychoanalysis, the original talking cure, was invented by Sigmund Freud, Josef Breuer -a General Practitioner- and their patients. From these early days in Austria analysis expanded internationally until analyst and couch became the ultimate Hollywood cliche.
Psychoanalysis developed into different schools, but common to all is a dedication to spontaneous speaking and careful listening. Through analysis one may re-jig or re-programme oneself by uncovering unconscious scripts and desires that determine expectations, behaviours, thinking, and phantasy.
What cannot be changed, re-cycled, or diverted needs to be accepted or mourned.
Because psychoanalytic treatment is labour intensive for both its service users and professionals, psychoanalysis is rarely available for adults within the NHS. Nevertheless contemporary psychoanalysis increasingly attracts people seeking an alternative to the generalized, structured, and highly regulated so-called therapies promoted by health officials and governments throughout Europe.
At the beginning of the twenty-first century psychoanalysis remains a versatile and sophisticated option for those who require unhurried careful listening
Analysis may be long-term lasting several years. One the other hand, Freud’s analysis with Gustav Mahler occurred during an afternoon stroll in a leafy Viennese suburb.
