“Jungian analytical psychotherapy integrating body and psyche”
Working with the relationship between body, trauma, and psyche
I offer Jungian-informed psychotherapy for people experiencing chronic pain, trauma, emotional distress, and persistent psychological patterns, particularly where these experiences are also felt in the body.
My work integrates Jungian analysis with an embodied understanding of psychological experience.
Who I work with
I work with people experiencing:
-
Depression, PTSD, chronic or persistent pain with emotional components
-
Trauma and developmental psychological patterns
-
Anxiety, tension, and emotional dysregulation
-
Life transitions and identity difficulties
-
Experiences expressed through both body and psyche
How I work
I work primarily from a Jungian analytical psychotherapy framework, exploring unconscious patterns, emotional processes, and recurring life themes.
The body is included where relevant, as psychological experience is often expressed through physical sensation, tension, and embodied patterns.
Sessions may include talking therapy, reflection on emotional experience, attention to body awareness, and exploration of dreams, imagery, or symbolic material.
The aim is to support psychological insight, integration, and a more conscious relationship between body, emotion, and psyche.

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 depth-oriented approach that explores how unconscious patterns, emotions, and life experiences shape how we think, feel, relate, and experience the body.
I work with people experiencing chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, emotional distress, and persistent patterns that feel difficult to shift, especially when these experiences are also felt physically or somatically.
My approach integrates Jungian analysis with an embodied understanding of psychological experience, supporting a deeper connection between body, emotion, and psyche.
In sessions, we may explore dreams, symbols, emotions, body awareness, and recurring life patterns. These are ways of understanding the deeper meaning of what is happening within you, rather than only managing symptoms.
This work is not only for psychological difficulty, but also for those seeking greater self-understanding, meaning, and psychological integration.
I offer a safe, confidential space where you are met with respect, curiosity, and care as we explore your inner and lived experience together.
“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 Approach
My approach integrates detailed knowledge of anatomy with a depth-oriented understanding of the relationship between body and psyche.
I work with chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions including pain, postural patterns, tension states, and functional imbalances such as TMJ dysfunction, headaches, scoliosis, kyphosis, and sports or occupational injuries.
Rather than focusing only on the area where symptoms appear, I explore how patterns of tension and movement relate to the overall organisation of the body and lived experience.
Sessions are typically 1 hour to allow time for assessment, treatment, and integration.
My work draws on clinical experience in Fascial Manipulation®, Schroth® Therapy, GDS Method® (sole accredited practitioner in Australia), and principles informed by traditional Chinese medicine.
This bodywork is informed by a Jungian perspective, understanding physical patterns as part of a broader dialogue between body, emotion, and psyche.
The practice
A space for psychological reflection, embodied awareness, and the exploration of deeper patterns shaping your life.
Located in the beautiful Broadbeach, sessions are held in a simple, beautiful, private and peaceful atmosphere.
