Jungian Psychotherapy

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious”

Carl G. Jung

Jungian psychotherapy is a deeply personal and transformative approach to therapy, developed by Carl Gustav Jung. It’s based on the idea that we’re shaped not only by what we know about ourselves, but also by unconscious parts that influence our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships. The goal is to bring those hidden aspects into awareness, so we can live with more authenticity, balance, and meaning.

Unlike other forms of therapy, Jungian work places strong emphasis on the collective unconscious, archetypes, and the process of individuation — the lifelong journey of becoming who we truly are.

In sessions, we may work with dreams, symbols, inner images, and techniques like active imagination — all tools to help access the unconscious and bring insight. These are not just clinical techniques, but ways of listening deeply to your inner world.

As a therapist, I walk alongside you — helping you notice patterns, emotional responses, inner conflicts and untapped potential. This work is not only for those facing mental health challenges, but also for anyone seeking personal growth, clarity, or a deeper connection with themselves.

Jungian therapy can be a powerful path for those feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply curious about who they are beyond the surface. It’s a space to gently explore the parts of you that may have been silenced or forgotten — and, in doing so, to reconnect with yourself and others in a more meaningful way.

I support people facing challenges like depression, anxiety, anger, insomnia, and more — but above all, I support people in their search for healing, growth, and purpose.

Throughout this process, privacy and confidentiality are absolutely essential. You’ll be met with respect, compassion, and a safe space to be fully yourself.

“We cannot rid ourselves of the doubt that perhaps this whole separation of mind and body may finally prove to be merely a device of reason for the purpose of conscious discrimination – an intellectually necessary separation of one and the same fact into two aspects, to which we then illegitimately attribute an independent existence.”

Carl G. Jung

Bodywork

My approach merges strong knowledge of anatomy with traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Fascial Manipulation®, Schroth® Therapy for scoliosis and the GDS Method® of muscular and articular chains (I am the sole accredited practitioner of this method in Australia).

I treat a varied caseload of musculoskeletal dysfunctions such as:

Chronic and acute pain, postural problems, TMJ & tensional headaches, kyphosis & scoliosis, sports and work-related injuries, pre & post orthopaedic surgery among others.

My treatment rarely focuses on only the specific area in which the symptoms manifest, avoiding going for a “quick fix”. I try to understand and correlate the source of the symptom with the problem area, so consultations usually take 1 hour.

I strongly encourage a discussion of each patient's holistic needs in the consultation and awareness throughout the treatment All treatments are provided through an informed Jungian perspective that correlates and integrates body and mind. This unique style of integrated treatment means you do not need to book separate consultations to discuss varying problem areas.
