I am a Jungian-oriented psychotherapist based in Northumberland, committed to supporting individuals as they seek internal harmony and significant meaning in their lives.
With more than three decades of practice, I am a senior accredited specialist (SNCPS Acc.) in Jungian and integrative methods. My background in the arts as healing supports my conviction in the healing power of deep psychological inquiry and discovery.
My professional education merges academic therapeutic precision with a creative, person-specific outlook. This enables me to engage with those seeking support in an uncomplicated, welcoming, and open manner, honouring the specific story each person shares.
In our sessions, we will search beneath the surface to identify the symbolic structures defining your path. Whether you are facing a major transition or desire a closer bond with your inner self, I offer a safe and protected space to uncover the layers of your unconscious.
My Approach
After we’ve explored who you are and what brings you here, we can begin to look more closely at how Jungian-oriented psychotherapy may support you. Together we’ll pay attention to both your everyday life and your inner world—dreams, images, and patterns that may be asking for your attention.
Jungian-Oriented Psychotherapy
Jungian psychotherapy offers a safe and reflective space in which to explore your inner world, your dreams and the deeper patterns shaping your life.
This methodology perceives different aspects of our psyche as internal personas that frequently pull us in opposing directions. In this context, a personal crisis is not just a barrier to bypass, but a vital opening for significant self-evolution and discovery.
Wholeness arises from establishing a healthier equilibrium between our daily awareness and the profound, hidden regions of the mind. We investigate how your ancestral and past events influence your current reality, observing both your private saga and universal human motifs.
Some Points to Consider:
- The unconscious is very real and it holds a central key to understanding ourselves and our lives at a much deeper level. Rather than being meaningless ‘noise’, dreams contain a wealth of vital information.
- People in psychological and emotional distress or difficulty require both meaning and a sense of mission or purpose. In such struggles, we need to be able to find a way of deeply understanding the source of our psychological pain.
- Psychotherapy takes a long time. It sometimes requires years of investment in building a psychotherapeutic relationship that has a true and lasting healing value for the patient.
- Jung emphasised the value in the healing arts that our ancestors practised across the globe. Jungian Psychotherapy/Analysis has a bedrock foundation in the world’s myths and religions.
- Much of what Jung taught and advocated for can be integrated and expanded upon. I integrate Jungian principles and practices with many Humanistic Integrative therapies.
Fees
My fees range from £85 for individual Psychotherapy and Clinical Supervision, through to £180 for Family Therapy.
Ways We Can Work Together
Dreams
Exploring your dreams can reveal symbols, patterns and feelings that are hard to reach in everyday life, offering guidance from the deeper layers of the psyche.
Creativity
Using images obtained from various activities, for instance painting, writing or other creative forms can give shape to what is hard to put into words, helping you relate differently to inner conflicts and possibilities.
Journalling
Keeping a journal of thoughts, feelings and dreams can support the work between sessions, deepening reflection and helping you notice subtle shifts over time. It can also help you process thoughts and feelings after sessions and identify issues you may want to work on in future.
If you feel drawn to any of these ways of working, we can explore together how they might support your own process.
