Welcome to a transformative path toward self-discovery and healing. As a Jungian Analyst, my role is to guide you on a profound journey of individuation —the process of becoming your true and unique self. Together, we will explore the depths of your psyche, unravelling the layers of conditioning and unconscious patterns that may obscure your authentic identity and possibly lie at the root of your suffering. Through this transformative journey, you'll become more self-aware as you gain deeper insights into your inner world, uncover, and embrace your unique inherent strengths, and ultimately, live a life aligned with your genuine self. The more present we become to our deeper Self, the more spacious, calm, joyful and responsive (rather than reactive) we become in our engagement with the world around us. To assist in identifying these patterns or aspects of Self, therapy involves talking about day-to-day experiences, memories, dreams, and other visionary experiences. |

I invite you to explore the uncharted territory of your psyche, to engage in the profound process of shadow work. Together, we will embark on a path of illumination, uncovering those hidden aspects of yourself that have long been relegated to the shadows. This introspective approach is a powerful means of healing and personal growth, as we delve into the depths of your unconscious mind to integrate those often overlooked, yet vital, elements of your identity. A focus area is to identify patterns and parts within the broader personality of the person that need acceptance and integrating; or the need to be transformed, especially if patterns/parts are limiting and/or imprisoning the person in maladaptive thinking or behaviours. Embrace the opportunity to confront your shadow, for within its enigmatic depths lie the keys to unlocking your fullest potential and achieving a more authentic and harmonious life. |

Join me on a journey of self-discovery through the realms of image and story. What are the images that inspire and guide you? What are the stories that you live by? Within the depths of the unconscious mind, we uncover the narratives, patterns, symbols, and archetypes that shape your inner world. By delving into the rich tapestry of your psyche, we explore the multiplicity of voices and stories that reside within you, offering insights into your personal mythology. Through Jungian analysis, we navigate the labyrinth of your soul, helping you integrate these elements and find meaning in your life's unfolding narrative. Join me on this profound exploration of self, as we unlock the power of image and story to guide you towards greater self-awareness and wholeness. |
We know that the wildest and most moving dramas are played not in the theatre but in the hearts of ordinary men and women who pass by without exciting attention, and who betray to the world nothing of the conflicts that rage within them except possibly by a nervous breakdown. What is so difficult for the layman to grasp is the fact that in most cases the patients themselves have no suspicion whatever of the internecine war raging in their unconscious. If we remember that there are many people who understand nothing at all about themselves, we shall be less surprised at the realization that there are also people who are utterly unaware of their actual conflicts.

Mapping the Psyche: My Blog
Your body a source of wisdom beyond your wildest imagination. Your DNA carries the stories of all your ancestors; as well as the potential of your descendants. In your cellular memory lies the answers to all your questions. The body expresses what the psyche cannot articulate - through somatic sensations, symptoms, or affective states.

Deeply embedded in human consciousness is the archetype of the Healer. Its expressions differ across cultures, but a common thread remains: a desire to alleviate human suffering and restore balance to the dis-eased individual.
The numinous, a term first articulated by Rudolf Otto in Das Heilige, describes the quality of direct encounter with the sacred - the wholly other, carrying awe, mystery, terror, and fascination. Carl Jung broadened Otto’s insight, locating the numinous in the archetypal depths of the psyche. For Jung, it erupts from the unconscious with a force that seizes the ego, alters consciousness, and leaves the individual irrevocably changed.
Philosopher Plato once imagined the cosmos as “a living creature truly endowed with soul and intelligence. Animistic traditions recognise that the Earth is not passive terrain, but a living being with whom we share an interconnected consciousness.
In today’s technocratic and performance-driven culture, many find themselves plagued by anxiety, depression, loneliness, and a sense of alienation. The collapse of shared mythic frameworks created a void quickly filled by consumerism and external success—stimulating but ultimately hollow substitutes that fail to nourish the soul.
In The Handless Maiden, a Brothers Grimm tale, a poor miller is approached by the devil-in-disguise who offers wealth in exchange for “what stands behind your mill.” Believing it to be an apple tree, the man agrees, only to discover that his daughter was standing there.
