What is Jungian Analysis?

Jungian analysis is a psychoanalytic psychotherapy based on the work of Carl Gustav Jung, the Swiss psychoanalyst (1875 - 1961). It is a therapeutic approach that views the treatment of many types of psychological problems including depression, anxiety, addictions, and mid-life or spiritual crises as coming from individuals’ innate healing capabilities. By using Jungian dream interpretation techniques and Sandplay therapy or other symbolic material, analyst and client explore the underlying meaning in suffering, and work together to facilitate change and transformation in the client.

The goal of a Jungian psychotherapy is to facilitate your natural inclination towards psychological wholeness by activating your ability to heal the stuck places in your
life. The work involves making conscious deeply ingrained and destructive life patterns, and aligning you with your natural life energy and flow

Sessions are usually 50 minutes in length and take place once or twice a week Ideally, Jungian analysis and psychotherapy works the best when the analyst and client meet face to face. However, telephone consultations are available for people where face to face meetings are not possible.

Jungian Dream Interpretation

Much of the work in Jungian analysis and psychotherapy involves working with dreams and the unconscious. Carl Jung believed that dreams were one of the important ways that the unconscious expressed itself; they reflected the inner truth and reality of the dreamer - the "just so" of the situation. Dreams provide valuable information in understanding inner life and dynamics. As such, dreams are an indispensable tool for self-discovery and knowledge.

Sandplay Therapy

Sandplay Therapy offers clients an alternative to traditional verbal therapy either instead of or at any time during an analytical process. It is especially effective for clients who wish to access deeper non-verbal areas of the psyche or who have found that talk therapy has not been effective addressing personal issues. It is a richly symbolic and depth psychological approach, Sandplay Therapy works very well in combination with Jungian Analysis. In a Sandplay process, a client creates symbolic images in the sand with miniature figures and objects. These images allow for the expression of unconscious material and for the natural healing properties of the psyche to be stimulated
