Who we are

The Winn Clinic is a not for profit service established by the Australian Psychoanalytical Society (APAS) to help connect people seeking treatment with independent mental health practitioners. Initial consultations are carried out by psychoanalysts, who are all members of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA), and able to refer patients for ongoing treatment.

Who we help

All kinds of people turn to therapists and analysts to help them better understand themselves, relieve distress and find satisfaction in life. Some have a specific issue, like anxiety, depression or panic attacks, while others experience more general negative feelings, such as aimlessness, inhibition or chronic distress, which can affect their personal, professional or sexual relationships. We help a wide range of people, although we are not able to help people in acute crisis.
