The Jungian approach
How I work from analytical psychology, bringing together evidence and meaning.
Jungian, or analytical, psychology doesn't only aim to relieve the symptom, but to listen to what it's trying to say. It rests on a simple, deep idea: within each person there is a natural movement toward integration and wholeness.
In psychotherapy, this lens lets me pay attention to the material that shows up in a person's life — dreams, recurring images, symbols, the things that repeat — to make room for what doesn't yet have words. Not a cold analysis or a closed interpretation, but a shared, patient kind of listening.
Jung described this path as the process of getting to know oneself better and integrating the parts of oneself that are hard to look at. He called it individuation: becoming who one truly is.
My training in Jungian psychotherapy continues with the Uruguayan Society for Analytical Psychology (SUPA), a group recognised by the International Association for Analytical Psychology, in a programme running to 2028.
How I work from this lens
Evidence and meaning
I draw on what research knows about health and habit change. To that I add a question the data don't always answer: what does this mean in this person's life?
Behind every habit, a story
Many habits once served a purpose: to soothe, to protect, to bring order. Understanding which one makes change more possible and less guilt-ridden.
Images that help us think
Familiar stories and characters (the hero, the one who cares, the one who drives themselves hard) work as metaphors. They help us see our own patterns with more distance and less judgement.
From automatic to chosen
Much of what we do runs on autopilot. The work is to notice those patterns, so as to choose instead of repeat.
Astrology, as an option
Some people find astrology useful as a language of images for talking about themselves. If someone asks for it, I can use it that way: as metaphor, not as explanation or prediction. It is not a science and it does not replace any part of the therapeutic work. Anyone with no interest in it goes through the same process without it ever appearing.
Who is this work for?
For those who sense that something is asking to be looked at more deeply; who are moving through a time of transition or searching; or who are simply curious about their own inner world. No knowledge of Jung is needed to begin.
