"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."
Leonard Cohen
Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, stress or difficulties in relationships or parenthood? Are you an expat, multilingual, TCK or minority facing life changes, culture shock or issues tied to identity and gender? Are you involved in the arts or in a creative field and concerned with creativity, performance anxiety, motivation or stage fright?
A successful psychoanalysis can bring about crucial relief from these diverse symptoms, improving your quality of life and empowering you to make choices with increased freedom, unburdened by the weight of the past.
With extensive training in three countries and clinical experience with diverse individuals, I ensure the utmost care, confidentiality, and respect throughout your journey.
As a long-time multilingual expat, I am sensitive to the difficulties faced by expats, TCKs, and multilingual clients. Informed by a parallel background in music performance and arts management, I also welcome patients whose challenges relate to creativity, whether in the arts or in other fields.
Whatever challenges you are facing, I am here to listen. When you wish, you are welcome to schedule a confidential consultation without obligation.
"A psychoanalysis consists in speaking freely, in not hushing the ideas that go through your head.
Little by little, from within your own words, another meaning forms and surprises you,
then falls apart, taking the pain with it.
Usually, you discover just how conditioned you have been by apparently minute elements
encountered in hazardous circumstances: things from childhood, meetings, certain words said to you,
and we keep coming back to them until the malevolent charge of these elements softens."
Jacques-Alain Miller
PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Psychoanalytic Practice
Tommaso Lonquich practices as a psychoanalyst in Ljubljana (Slovenia), where he founded the International Center for Lacanian Psychoanalysis. His broad clinical practice focuses on working with creative professionals, as well as with expatriates and individuals undergoing cultural transitions, addressing issues related to identity, relationships, and anxiety disorders, within a Lacanian framework.
Training
He completed his analytic training at the Escuela Lacaniana de Psicoanálisis in Madrid, obtaining the Certificate of Clinical Studies with a thesis on the conceptual evolution of the object a in the teaching of Jacques Lacan.
He actively participates in the work of the New Lacanian School and the World Association of Psychoanalysis, and is a member of Espace Jeune Vienna–Ljubljana.
Some of his theoretical writings have been published in the specialized journal Punto de Fuga.
Teaching and Public Engagement
He is a lecturer in Theory and Clinic of Lacanian Psychoanalysis and a member of the scientific committee of OMANUT in Rome – Three-Year School of Professional Art Counseling.
He regularly gives masterclasses and lectures at international institutions such as the Juilliard School, the Manhattan School of Music, the Royal Danish Academy, and the State University of New York, exploring topics such as text interpretation and the body on stage, central themes in both the performing arts and the psychoanalytic setting.
Artistic Career
As a clarinetist, he performs regularly across five continents. He is a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (New York) and was principal clarinetist of Ensemble MidtVest (Denmark) for fourteen years.
He has appeared on twenty-five recordings, nominated for international awards such as the Gramophone Award and the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.
In Denmark, he is the founder and artistic director of the Schackenborg Musikfest, a summer festival held at the namesake royal castle. He was previously the artistic director of Kantoratelier, a cultural association in Florence dedicated to exploring the interaction between music, theatre, and psyche.
Therapeutic Approach
Tommaso Lonquich’s clinical work is characterized by the integration of rigorous Lacanian training with an ongoing exploration of creative processes and transcultural dynamics.
His personal experience as a musician and therapist in multicultural environments allows him to offer a setting particularly effective for those who live creativity as a core aspect of their subjectivity, as well as to those facing challenges related to identity in flux and relational difficulties.
