Jane Haynes is a psychotherapist and Partner at the Group Analytic Practice, London , where she has her consulting room. She is interested in the practice of psychotherapy as the expression of a therapeutic dialogue and works from the precept that not only do people have unspeakable experiences or thoughts but that they can be made more unspeakable by the absence of a skilled listener.
Jane has a specialist interest in creativity, infertility and partnership relations. She works with individuals, couples and families. She also works with adolescents. She has co-edited and contributed to the first book on the psychology of infertility: Inconceivable Conceptions: psychological aspects of infertility and reproductive technology (Routledge, 2003).
