## **The Site For Contemporary Psychoanalysis Company No. 03978291, Charity No. 1084537 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 December 2025**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Training**
The Site provides a minimum four-year psychoanalytic training that embodies the organisation’s philosophy and clinical standards. The curriculum foregrounds critical readings of psychoanalysis alongside sustained engagement with European philosophy and feminist theory, examining the historical, political, theoretical and clinical developments that inform contemporary practice. Courses emphasize close attention to the ways in which socio-cultural, gendered and inter sectional factors shape an individual’s experience and clinical presentation. At present there are 27 trainees enrolled, three of whom are taking an approved leave of absence for the Spring term.
Based in London, the training programme is delivered through a combination of public and private lectures, seminars, tutorial classes, clinical workshops and case-supervision groups. Candidate selection and assessment involve both theoretical and clinical written examinations, together with interviews and case assessments, conducted to standards prescribed by the Site. Training is organized into two ongoing groups in London — one meeting on Thursday evenings and the other on Saturday mornings — and the Site does not operate year cohorts. This flexible entry model allows applicants to begin at the start of the autumn term (October) or the spring term (January), facilitating access for those whose circumstances make a midyear start preferable.
Programme funding derives primarily from a mix of membership subscriptions, revenue from public lectures, workshops and training programmes, training fees, and a modest number of bursaries awarded to eligible applicants. Publicity for the training and related events is maintained through the Site website, social media channels, and targeted email communications, ensuring broad visibility across professional and lay audiences.
## **Outreach**
The Site has appointed an Event Planner to coordinate an annual calendar of public talks, seminars, conferences and workshops designed to disseminate psychoanalytic ideas and foster dialogue across disciplines. Working closely with the training committee, volunteers and the administrative team, the Event Planner has helped professionalise event delivery, expanded audience reach, and enhanced the educational impact of the Site’s programmes.
## **Charitable activity**
A core charitable aim is to ensure access to appropriate psychoanalytic treatment for people of limited means. Trainees, under supervision, and some qualified members participate in low-fee clinical provision, which both supports vulnerable patients and provides essential experiential training for prospective analysts. This dual benefit strengthens clinical competence while fulfilling the Site’s commitment to public benefit and ethical clinical practice.
## **Directors and Trustees**
The directors and trustees who held office during the year were as follows:
Ms Luisa Pretolani Dr Nicholas Blackburn Ms Joanna Gardner Dr Peter Nevins Mrs Shireen Noor Ms Judith Soal Ms Suzanne Adebari Ms Eva De Marchi Ms Chrysanthi Nigianni Ms Ana Carolina Minozzo
## **Small Company Rules**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

## **The Site For Contemporary Psychoanalysis Independent Examiner's Report For The Year Ended 31 December 2025**
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 8.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
1. The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
2. Having satisfied myself that an audit is not required, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act, and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
