My name is…

Gilles Deles-Velins

        I am a psychoanalyst based in Latvia where I receive adults and children. I am also available remotely with various visioconference applications. I worked for 20 years in France in areas with particularly difficult medical demographics and and a high level of social precariousness.

On this website I try to develop content that answer your most common questions and topics (see the F.A.Q) but also very specific researchs, articles or philosophical investigations.  This reflects my background: both pragmatic and demanding in terms of content as I am involved in many cultural and artistic activities.  

Whatever your reasons for visiting this website, I will do my best to help you formulate the right questions and find the most appropriate answers together.
