‘Enter your inner temple and consult the great Guru who accompanies you everywhere, and ask him to show you the way.’
What is Jungian Coaching?
It’s often said that we don’t solve our problems, we outgrow them. Jungian Coaching can help you get to the bottom of any life issue you may be facing, and find your a path out of the woods through self-understanding and growth. It allows you to uncover and speak with archetypal parts of yourself which hold wisdom. There is something alchemically potent about creating space to have an internal dialogue. It’s the opposite of the habitual, unrelenting internal monologue most of us carry around. The unconscious holds wisdom and it is ready to speak with our conscious mind.
What is Jungian Coaching not?
It’s important to point out that Jungian Coaching is not psychotherapy or analysis. Rather than dissecting your past life experience, it draws on the wisdom held within it. The Jungian approach of inviting in the voice of the unconscious gives a much deeper scope to figure out where you are, where you want to be, and how you can get there than normal life coaching.
What can you expect from a session?
In our session, we firstly clarify as precisely as possible the nature of the issue you would like to address. When this has been distilled into one pertinent statement or question, we can take it to the unconscious realms. The unconscious uses the language of symbol and we will explore various approaches to help you dialogue with it. This is usually in a spoken form, and can also be a written exercise. You will be amazed at the precision and wisdom you can get from your own mind.
What will you take away from a session?
The conclusion of the session is all about grounding the insights, brought up by your dialogue, into practical ways forward. We look at what it is you now know you want to do or change, how you want to implement action, what support you might put in place, including what support you might want from me. You have the opportunity to use me as an accountability buddy, but that’s up to you. You will be taking away your own life map based on the deeper understandings you have uncovered.
