Ronen Kanski, Psychotherapist and Group Analyst
II am a psychotherapist and group therapist based in Melbourne, working with adults, adolescents, and young adults in both individual and group settings. My work is grounded in psychodynamic and group-analytic thinking, with a focus on emotional experience, relationships, identity, trauma, and life transitions.
I am interested in what happens between people – in relationships, groups, and organisations – and in the emotional dynamics that shape how we experience ourselves and others. I see therapy as a space for reflection, curiosity, and emotional understanding, where difficult experiences can gradually become more thinkable and less isolating.
I hold a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Sociology with a focus on migration and globalisation, and an additional Master’s degree in Management. I have also completed professional training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic group facilitation, and currently train in the Group Psychoanalytic Program at the Australian Association of Group Psychotherapists (AAGP).
“Man is primarily a social being, a particle of a group. The apparent possibility for him to live as an isolated ‘individual’ is the result of later, more complex developments. …What stands in need of explanation is not the existence of groups but the existence of individuals (Foulkes and Anthony, 1957, p. 215).
