“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”C.G.Jung CW13:335

Jungian Psychotherapy is an in-depth form of psychotherapy that recognizes and works with both conscious and unconscious (or deeper) parts to a person’s being. Originating from the works of Carl Jung in the early 20^th Century (and developed by many Post-Jungians since) Jungian Psychotherapy holds a fundamental belief in the psyche’s tendency towards wholeness and healing. Overtime, the goal of therapy is to integrate conscious and unconscious (or deeper) parts of our being, allowing us to feel more connected to ourselves and others. This is a process Jung called ‘individuation’.

Jungian Psychotherapy tends to be longer-term work and may involve one, two or more sessions per week. This is an important part of creating a safe container, over time, for less known or ‘emerging’ parts of the self to develop.

Within therapy, there may be a focus on your dream world, sandplay or active imaginations as a way of engaging with unconscious material. Equally, the focus may be on what is happening in your life currently, your experiences in the past, or the therapeutic relationship, as a way to help you make sense of your world.
