Whether one seeks to deepen their creative voice, rekindle their spiritual sensitivity, or receive support in navigating life's meaningful transitions, Jungian analysis provides a container for sacred unfoldment. It’s an intimate and transformative process of self-discovery, rooted in the profound understanding that the human psyche is both a deeply personal and a collective vessel for meaning. At its core, Jungian analysis seeks to illuminate the hidden dimensions of the Self/soul, fostering a connection to the unconscious that enriches and expands the conscious mind.

In this work, the psyche is viewed not as a problem to be solved but as a mystery to be lived. Guided by the belief that every individual carries an innate drive toward wholeness, Jungian analysis helps uncover the symbolic language of dreams, archetypes, and active imagination, opening pathways to healing, creativity, and spiritual awakening.

What sets my approach apart is the integration of a somatic orientation within the framework of Jungian analysis. The body is not merely a vessel but a profound gateway to the unconscious, offering access to the labyrinth of the soul through physical sensations, embodied experiences, and somatic awareness. This perspective brings depth and innovation to the work, particularly in dream interpretation, where the body’s responses and wisdom provide essential clues to understanding the psyche’s messages.

I offer a Jungian Somatics™ orientation that bridges the connection between psyche and body, uniting these aspects in a dynamic and transformative process. This unique approach honours the body’s role as a partner in the exploration of the unconscious, fostering healing that is both psychological and deeply embodied.

Through the container of a trusted analytic relationship, analysis becomes a dialogue with the deeper layers of the self. The unconscious—expressed in dreams, symbols, intuitive movement, body sensations, and patterns—offers guidance, wisdom, and clarity. By engaging with these messages, clients embark on a journey of individuation, discovering their unique path to authenticity and integration.

This process honours the profound connection between psyche and body, inner and outer worlds, and past and present. It invites individuals to face life’s challenges not as obstacles to overcome but as initiations into greater self-awareness and meaning. Whether one seeks to navigate trauma, relationships, transitions, or the call of the soul itself, Jungian analysis provides a space to encounter the Sacred within the ordinary.

Jungian analysis with a somatic orientation is for those who long to live in deeper alignment with their true essence. It is for those who seek to transcend surface-level existence and reconnect with the timeless wisdom that resides within, uniting mind, body, and soul. In this work, the act of turning inward becomes an act of reverence—a sacred reclamation of one’s story, purpose, and place in the greater web of life.

How does Jungian Analysis differ from other therapeutic approaches?

Jungian analysis is a sustained and in-depth relationship devoted to exploring the dialogue between consciousness and the unconscious. Jung wrote that the cure lies in relationship with the numinous, the felt encounter with something greater than ourselves. In analysis, these moments of mystery, whether they come through dreams, synchronicities or sudden insight, are treated as medicine for the soul.

This work asks us to confront not only the wounds of our personal history but also shadow aspects of ourselves that may have nothing to do with trauma. We also explore how forces in the collective unconscious, including archetypal patterns, myths and images, can shape our fate outside of our awareness.

Jungian analysis differs from depth psychotherapy not only in its aim but in the preparation of the analyst. Analysts are trained for many years, often within internationally recognized analytic institutes. This training includes an intensive, personal analytic process that’s long-term and rigorous, requiring the analyst to work deeply with their own unconscious material before ever sitting with an analysand. The analyst is also immersed in the study of archetypal psychology, symbolic amplification, dream work and the dynamics of the collective unconscious. This depth of training shapes the work, allowing the analyst to hold the complexity, mystery and transformative potential of the analytic process.

Analysis is often long-term and can be challenging, requiring us to stay with paradox, uncertainty and the unknown. It isn’t about returning to who we were before a crisis but entering a deeper and more authentic life, one that’s shaped by an ongoing dialogue with both the personal and collective dimensions of the psyche.

Who Might Jungian Analysis Not Be For?

Jungian analysis with me is not intended for individuals in acute crisis who require immediate stabilization or are living with a high level of emotional dysregulation. It’s a long-term process that requires emotional readiness and stability to engage deeply with the unconscious. Working with me is not appropriate for you if you are dealing with acute trauma symptoms. It may also not align with those seeking direct advice, a solutions-focused approach, or short-term, symptom-focused interventions, as this approach prioritizes introspection, symbolic exploration, and gradual self-discovery. Those uninterested in exploring the unconscious, dreams, or archetypes may find it less suited to their needs. Instead, it calls to those ready to embrace the profound and often slow process of self-transformation.
