What is Psychoanalytic Therapy?
Jungian analysis is a form of psychoanalytic therapy directed toward an exploration of the patient or client's unconscious, its contents and processes, in order to alleviate emotional or psychological suffering felt to be no longer tolerable because of its interferences with living.
The goal of therapy is the patient or client's movement towards healing, psychological wholeness or transformation. This transformation of the personality requires coming to terms with the unconscious, its specific structures and their dynamic relations to consciousness as these become available during the course of therapy.
It is an essential feature of Jungian psychoanalytic therapy that in pursuit of wholeness the unconscious is given a central voice.
I offer therapy and counselling to help people who are in distress or have emotional problems. I work with children, adolescents, and adults from all walks of life.
I'm a Jungian Psychoanalyst-in-training at ISAPZurich. Therefore my work with patients and clients is conducted under the auspices of training at ISAPZurich and this encompasses the requirement to conduct the analysis under the supervision of recognised ISAP supervisors.
How can I help you?
My approach as a Jungian Psychoanalyst-in-training aims to facilitate a meaningful, conscious, developmental and transformational relationship with oneself and with others. Jungian analysis treats a broad range of symptoms and moods, anxiety and depression, trauma, child/adolescent/adult developmental issues, personality disorders, past and existing life circumstances, current difficulties and aspirations, transitioning from current to new life, achieving harmony between internal and external goals, seeking meaning in life and unconscious fantasies and dreams. Working creatively with all aspects of psychological and emotional patterns fosters awareness and change as one comes to terms with one’s limits and potentials.
Please note that my therapy services is in-person only.
My practice is located at Arosastrasse 1, 8008 Zurich and Stampfenbachstrasse 115, 8006 Zurich.
