Jungian Analysts

Raffaella Hilty, IAAP (MA Phil., Psych.)

Jungian Analyst & Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist (IAAP, AJA, BPC, UKCP)

Raffaella Hilty is a London based Jungian Analyst, an Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and a Clinical Supervisor. She is a registered member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP), of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). She has worked in a variety of settings, including the NHS, the voluntary sector and privately.

“The aim of individuation is nothing less than to divest the self of the false wrappings of the persona on the one hand and the suggestive power of primordial images on the other.”
– C.G. Jung, 1935, Nietzsche’s Zarathustra. par. 269.

C.G. Jung believed that the unconscious is not only the ‘repressed’ but also a source of creativity and wisdom striving towards psychological growth, what he referred to as the process of individuation. A Jungian approach to psychotherapy facilitates this process, which consists in the development of a greater degree of awareness of oneself within the context of one’s personal history and present interpersonal experiences, the aim being to develop more authentic ways to relate to oneself and others.

Raffaella Hilty offers open-ended analytical work providing a safe environment from where to explore one’s present issues and how meaningful past experiences may have contributed to the way the present is perceived and approached. Whilst her work takes into account the influence of the past onto the present, it also places as much attention to the future and to the fact that in the present psychological suffering there is the potential for a meaningful new direction. She has extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-worth, relationship problems, sexuality, body image, eating disorders, career issues, midlife crisis, loss and bereavement, struggle with a lack of purpose and meaning. Her experience in dream analysis is an integral part of her in depth-approach to the analytical work.

In addition to her clinical work, Raffaella has presented papers at public forums and conferences. She has been published in the British Journal of Psychotherapy, in the International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy and in the Journal of Attachment New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis. Her book, ‘Primitive Bodily Communications in Psychotherapy. Embodied Expressions of a Disembodied Psyche’ was published by Karnac Books in 2022

 Holly J. Fincher, Ph.D., IAAP

As a Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist, Holly has more than 25 years of experience with practice and research.  Having completed two different analytic trainings in both California and Switzerland, she specializes in an approach focused on the reality of the living objective psyche, that which C. G. Jung called the collective unconscious, and its relationship to everyday life. This approach is reflected in her clinical practice, research, and other professional activities as well as her own daily lived life.

“I greatly value working with individuals, helping them to realize an inner psychological reality which can unfailingly guide everyday life in a meaningful and fulfilling way.  A deep center of knowing resides innately in every person.  When we able to build a felt sense of connection with this, through understanding the symbolic nature of our dreams for example, the questions in our outer life can be resolved and a sense of reliability on a greater personality within established. In a way, analysis is best thought of as a collaboration between two people, the individual and the analyst. The goal is a working towards a more stable, meaningful, and creative way of life.”

A native Californian, Holly lives in rural New Hampshire, USA, where a small flock of sheep and two border collies balance her daily activities with her analytic work.   She has been practicing online for over a decade, again and again finding this venue especially conducive to working with dreams and other symbolic material.

Martin Hosken, IAAP

Martin Hosken is a classically trained Jungian Psychoanalyst with a private practice in Truro, Cornwall, UK, working both in-person and remotely.

As a practical, creative engagement with the images, impulses and emotions that define our natures, Psychotherapy offers a process of challenge and inquiry within the boundaries of a secure relationship. The intent is always to evoke a renewed sense of empowerment, authorship and consciousness within our lives. As a dear friend once said… we do the work to feel better.

Having originally trained as a carpenter whilst also playing in Punk bands Martin returned as a mature student to study applied arts before working in a number of education establishments delivering both art theory and applied arts courses. An increasing interest in the phenomenology of imagery led to a research degree at the Royal College of Art before he commenced his training with the London based Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists. Martin has also spent time working in a number of challenging corporate environments including as an owner manager with a city professional services firm.

As well as working in private practice Martin currently lectures in The Human Condition at Falmouth University and facilitates reflective practice and supervision for a number of health, educational and faith based organisations. He is a member of The International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP), The Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists (IGAP) and The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

Lene Rasmussen, IAAP

Born in Denmark, I have lived most of my life in London, England. I returned to Denmark two years ago to be close to nature. I have a degree in Psychology, Art Psychotherapy and Analytical Psychology. I am registered with The Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists (IGAP), The International Association of Analytical Psychologists (IAAP), and The Danish Society of Analytical Psychologists (DSAP). I am particularly interested in working with dreams, creativity, imagination and our relationship to nature, from a classical Jungian perspective. I find inspiration from film, art, literature, myths, folk and fairytales.

Graham Jackson, IAAP

Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Graham Jackson read English and French at the University of Toronto followed by a masters degree in information studies. After several years writing dance and theatre criticism as well as the texts for several dance-theatre productions, he took himself to England and then to Zürich, Switzerland to concentrate on his personal analysis and eventually on training as a Jungian analyst. He graduated from the Zürich Institute in 1990 and for the past almost thirty years has worked as a Jungian analyst in his native Toronto. The author of two books on male-male intimacy from a Jungian perspective, published in the early nineties by Inner City Books, he is also a teacher and frequent lecturer for Toronto’s C.G. Jung Foundation and the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts. Among the range of topics he has lectured on are the notion of family values, bad faith, the father complex, individuation versus individualism, and the relationship between loss and longing. In 2017 he also saw the publication of his first novel, entitled The Jane Loop.

Angela Pessinis, IAAP

Angela is a Jungian analyst/psychoanalyst and works with adults from all walks of life and from all over the world. She works with individuals dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, major life transitions, midlife transitions, grief and major losses, challenges in relationships or at work, feeling stuck, struggling with creativity, suffer from a loss of energy and want to discover and embody their potential and regain meaning in their life in general.

Angela helps her clients examine their current situation and areas of being "stuck" and together they explore new ways of relating to oneself and others and eventually  learning to relate from a place of Eros rather than power and live a more joyful and fulfilled life.

Angela through the analytic work assists each individual to discover their uniqueness, to work on areas that are less developed in their personality, and deal with the material that surfaces from the unconscious, especially dreams  which can be seen as messages from the unconscious.  This can not only shed light into the current situation but also point to where one's energy should be directed. Jung believed that each person is a unique individual and comes with his inner healing and analysis aims at connecting with both. In the temenos of the analytic space, Angela listens attentively and with great respect to the whisperings of each client's soul in all its manifestations, i.e., dreams, suffering, voice, drawings, or any form of creative  work and encourages the client to listen to, appreciate and be receptive to its advice and wisdom.

Her first two degrees were in English literature and Humanities, Comparative literature, at York University in Toronto. Her extensive studies in literature provided an excellent exposure to the depths and richness of the human psyche and its creative expressions. Following a number of  years of  work in adult education and interpreting she studied  Psychodynamic Therapy  at CTP for  two years. There followed  two semesters at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich and she completed her formal  training in analytical psychology at the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA).

Angela has a private practice in Montreal offering individual Jungian analysis to adults in person and via Skype,  she teaches at OAJA, lectures for the public,  and  also teaches depth Analytical  psychology to a group of psychologists in Greece. Angela is also perfectly fluent in Greek.

Angela is currently a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP); The Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA); Canadian Association of Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT); and of L'Association des psychoanalystes Jungiens du Quebec (APJQ).

Angela works in both the English and Greek language.

Fiann Paul, IAAP

Fiann is a modern day renaissance man and one of the most multi-faceted Jungians. He began his education and work as an Architect (MA), and currently holds four academic degrees. He completed Depth Psychology studies at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich. He resides in Iceland and incorporates his broad life and professional experience into his practice. As an explorer he led some of the world’s most challenging expeditions. He is also an explorer of the inner realm, an accomplished artist and is currently pursuing an interdisciplinary PhD in the field of Leadership. He has lived on every continent for at least a year, which he values as his experiential education. His unique approach to life, bringing together physical, artistic, and intellectual excellence, has raised attention and has been described as Arete: the ancient Greek concept of multipotential development. He received fellowships at several Royal Societies. He has lectured at notable venues such as the House of Commons in London.

His psychoanalytic work explores the world of the unconscious, delving into dreams, childhood development, creative art, the relationship between the individual and their body, mystical experiences, and more. He also explores vocational dynamics, motivation, performance, and fulfillment.

He is genuinely curious about the human psyche and is an attentive listener. He finds psychoanalytic work nourishing and exciting as it lets the client and analyst cultivate a deep and meaningful interaction, something increasingly uncommon in modern society. He is addicted to music and nature, and loves absurd humor. Check the list of his favorite films.

"I pulled myself apart and built myself from scratch. I am a self-made man and I haven't borrowed from any template. For some reason, I tend to be chosen by those who say ‘now or never’."

“I perceive being an explorer very similarly to being an analyst. Both guide through challenging frozen landscapes. For both life is at stake”

“My policy is that I only work with 3 clients a day; this is not due to a lack of time, rather, it ensures that I can devote to each client the time that they deserve, to their great satisfaction. For each hour in person with a client, I work one hour offline, doing my homework.”

Jane Smith-Eivemark, IAAP

Jane has served patients, families, and staff in healthcare for over thirty years in various roles: as a clinician, clinical educator, consultant, manager, and director in the areas of spiritual care, wellbeing, and mission and values.  She has worked, in short, from the bedside to the boardroom.  Jane works, at this time, in her analytic practice in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She participates in continual learning, primarily, in the post-Jungian work of Wolfgang Giegerich and other thinkers within the International Society for Psychology as the Discipline of Interiority (ISPDI) and is a founding member of the Pan Canadian Society for Analytic Psychology (PCSAP).

Jane completed a doctoral degree where she focused her passion on the art of filmmaking as a major storyteller in our time before "hearing the call" to become an analyst. In her analytic work with others, the focus, now, is working with the stories of her clients.

Jane is passionate about Jung's psychology of soul and continues her ongoing learning with a view to seeing more of Jung's unfinished work coming to life with colleagues throughout the world within, both, the ISPDI and PCSAP. She is also a member of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA) and the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) as well as the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT).

Roger LaRade, IAAP

As a Jungian analyst, my goal is helping each client understand and nourish an individual sense of soul and self, exploring that which needs to be pruned, and fostering a deep rootedness in the psyche.I bring to Jungian analysis a diverse set of professional experiences. Degrees in philosophy, education, theatre, and theology, paired with professional experiences as a teacher, university chaplain, health and sexuality educator, and HIV/AIDS support services manager, allow me to help clients deal creatively with varied interests and issues.  In addition, I was a Jesuit priest for more than a decade, so bring strong interest and experience in spirituality and religion to Jungian exploration.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy does not need to begin with a deep crisis. My work is valuable to clients who desire a journey of facilitated self-discovery.  Some individuals seek psychotherapy when experiencing a long-term weariness with some situation or condition; others seek analysis when discovering a pattern of undesirable behaviour and yearning to change it to become whole.

My Toronto-based work includes an active professional practice, three terms as president and current director of training and faculty/clinical supervisor for the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts, as well as faculty/facilitator with the Guild for Spiritual Guidance. I have presented Jung-focussed public lectures and analyst training workshops on wide-ranging themes including zombies, opera, evil, religious imagery and icons, and animal symbolism. I interact comfortably in English and French, on-line, in person and by phone.

Areas of specialization: Life meaning and purpose (vocation), spirituality and religion, family of origin and relationship issues, anxiety and panic, addiction, and depression.

Lindsey Geiger, IAAP

“Where your fear is, there is your task.” – Carl Jung

My clients often come to see me because they are experiencing a sense of unease.  They feel something is amiss, something they aren’t seeing or living. They are often tense, worried, guilty, or irritable, and they complain of feeling disconnected or lost.

These experiences of unease occur for many reasons, including traumatic events, long periods of stress, stage of life changes, and other internal movements of the psyche. The Jungian approach, in working with dreams, art, and imaginal experience, offers a way to harvest meaning in the parts of us we would prefer to throw away. This challenging work leads to a greater sense of wholeness and understanding.

You will find me to be direct, nonjudgmental, irreverent, and empathetic. Over the years I have worked with people from diverse cultures and walks of life, and I continue to grow and learn from each client that I see.

I am a graduate of the analytic training program at the C.G. Jung Institute of Colorado, and a member of IAAP. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Providing depth psychotherapy for more than 20 years has given me opportunities to hone my specialties, which include treatment of anxiety and trauma, religious and spiritual wounding and resolution, and creative recovery.

Serge Verville, IAAP

“The individuation process and the dreamwork are central to the work on ourselves and lead to new energy coming from the unconscious. Getting to know who we really are and living accordingly needs courage and endeavour but opens in us to the path toward our true self.”

Serge is a Jungian Analyst with a degree from the CG Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland and is a member of the international association for Analytical Psychology and Swiss Society for Analytical Psychology SSAP and accredited analyst of the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich-Küsnacht Switzerland. He is a Swiss and a Canadian citizen and resides in Israel. He completed his Masters (MA) at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Science from the University of Montreal. He has led many groups in dreams studies and given courses on Jung and Meister Eckhart. 

“Our soul is there inside us and we can go inwardly to have glimpses of it, if we want.”

Everything related to the Psyche’s spiritual energy, to the religious function or true mysticism, is of great interest to him. Serge helps people who experience stress, anxiety, panic attacks, problems in relationships, sexuality, lack of meaning, depression and any person who needs support to solve whatever blocks the flow of life. He has helped many people going through grief and some facing death. He has worked with clients with addiction issues and those seeking to integrate entheogenic experiences. For Serge, being totally present, warm and listening with compassion is primary to his approach.

He enjoys traveling, anthropology, the arts, reading, culture, meditation and yoga. He has been interviewed on psychological questions for newspaper, magazines, radio and television.

Serge works with people of many cultures in both the English and French language.

Begüm Gürses-Sulzer, M.Sc., AGAP

I am an Istanbul-born Jungian analyst based in Switzerland with experience in addiction and eating disorders, social work, and neurodiversity. I offer in-person and online sessions in English, Turkish, and French. When someone seeks the help of a Jungian analyst, it is often because they have already exhausted other approaches. They are in a very vulnerable place but also motivated to commit to the journey, curious to dive into the depth of their psyche, and intrigued to work with the unconscious. I believe that the difficulty of their conflict is a sign that the change they need lies in a blind spot (unconscious) and may require a bigger shift than they have previously attempted.

As Jung said, “Conflict exists strictly as an opportunity to raise our consciousness.” Hence, conflicts aim at the individual’s development and growth. They can manifest not only through emotional or mental suffering but also physically, through illness, chronic pain, auto-immune disease, weight loss/gain, and rare diseases. Therefore, I see the body (and its states) as an integral part of the analytic journey. In my practice, I accompany individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and life situations to discover the growth opportunities hidden in their difficult or painful experiences. Having worked in addiction treatment facilities, I have experience and a special interest in working with addiction and eating disorders, as well as codependency, burnout, and perfectionism.

As an analyst who has worked in various helper roles, I am also interested in supporting and accompanying other helpers, such as helping professionals and caregivers via group work and courses. Furthermore, major life transitions, migration, chronic pain, psychosomatic conditions, and anxiety have been recurrent themes in my practice. Prior to my Jungian training, I started my professional life in the corporate sector. I studied Economics at ITU and SUNY New Paltz, and Actuarial Science at HEC Lausanne. I like going on hikes, doing yoga (yin and Katonah), cooking, reading-watching-listening to stories. I love spending time with my two cats, Fiona and Alistair, who give me incredible and unlimited joy. You can find more about individual analysis, group work, and courses on my website: www.begumgurses.com

Stacey Jenkins, IAAP

Stacey Jenkins is a Jungian Analyst and Registered Psychotherapist in private practice in Toronto.  

She assists clients in connecting with the wisdom in their own nature through work with their dreams. Dreams supply what is lacking in the conscious attitude. They arise from the living waters of the psyche, the inexhaustible source of psychic and spiritual life.

When the customary approaches to life's challenges break down or life feels dull and flat, attending to dream images can restore a creative attitude to life.

Stacey’s areas of interest and experience include questions of life path and self-exploration, addiction, loss of meaning, depression, creativity, and spiritual growth. She is drawn to expressions of the hero archetype and the ways in which we grow from our potential into a fuller expression of who we are.

She is versed in the creative process and the realization of creative vision through professional experience in television and film production.

The symbol speaks in many ways. Stacey incorporates decades of experience with the Tarot, astrology, the I Ching and other divinatory tools in her practice. These practices invite synchronicity and the mysterious domain of intuition into the dialogue between consciousness and the unconscious.

Stacey is a graduate of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts. She is currently President of that organization, and is on the faculty of the school as well.  Stacey holds an honours Bachelor of Science degree with a specialist in English literature from the University of Toronto. She is a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP), the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy.  

Michelle van Kampen, IAAP

We are all storytellers. For generations we have shared fairy tales, myths, and even cave paintings to explore our collective experience. Your own life story is more meaningful than you know. Everyone holds narratives (conscious or unconscious) of who they are and what they are meant to be. In our work, we will begin to make sense of your individual myth. When you’ve come to a crossroads (life transition), a valley (lethargy), or a desert (depression), it’s difficult to understand why. Together we will navigate these challenging passages through observing what Jung described as the contents of the collective unconscious: dreams, fantasies, and art. In our work, we will begin to map your journey so you may walk the path that was laid for you and learn to find the meaning in your life.

My own story begins with a fascination of mythic civilizations of the ancient and medieval world. I followed this passion by pursuing a Bachelor's and Master's degree in History, where it became clear it was not the history that interested me, it was the untold mysteries. Soon after this discovery, I began to search for facsimiles of old books - alchemy, sacred geometry, secret societies, and it was during this time I came across The Red Book. I was unaware of the authorship or its creation date, instead I was mesmerized by the illuminated images and had decided right then to purchase this book. In the years that have followed, I have grown quite accustomed to its author, Carl Gustav Jung, as well as his Collected Works, as I trained to become a Jungian analyst at the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts. 

Over the past few years, I have been working with clients to help them gain a deeper knowledge of themselves. If you are on a journey of self-discovery perhaps our paths will cross. Explore my website https://dreamanalysis.ca for more information. 

You must go in quest of yourself, and you will find yourself again only in the forgotten things.

Gábor Majdán, M.Sc., AGAP

I am a Zürich-trained Jungian analyst (ISAPZURICH), working in private practice in Zürich, in English and in Hungarian. I was born and raised in central Hungary. I completed my IT-related Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Budapest, Hungary, and in Utrecht, the Netherlands. However, my soul remained unsatisfied with this first career, and both subtly and staunchly, it made me embrace my vocation as a Jungian analyst.

Navigating major life changes, such as the one I have gone through, forms the heart of my analytical practice. I help my clients attune to the subtle promptings of their psyche, to be able to tease out what lies behind complicated and often chaotic feelings coming from the deepest reaches of their soul.

In my practice, I place a big emphasis on working with dreams, active imaginations, drawings, and spontaneous inner images, to aide my clients in developing a dialectic attitude towards the parts that emerge. But the unconscious manifests in all sorts of ways: often the most mundane of situations and the pettiest arguments hide the very treasure our souls need.

I have worked with patients and colleagues from all over the world, and have lived in five countries (Hungary, Australia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States). I am especially sensitive and receptive to the collective pressures our societies exert (native or adopted), and to the deep necessity of differentiating the ancestral and spiritual cues that come from within.

Erica Lorentz, IAAP

I am a M.Ed., L.P.C., Jungian Analyst (IAAP) with over forty year of clinical experience. I do individual, couple, and group work. While I have a deep and varied clinical background, I am less interested in diagnosis and more interested in what a dream, emotional or physical symptom, and the inner imaginal realm are trying to express. Anxiety, depression, anger, compulsion, illness, PTSD, etc. are the body/psyche's way of drawing our awareness to where we need to grow. My training and personal experience with verbal and nonverbal/somatic processes enable me to access the dynamic flow between the conscious and unconscious. In this dialogue I search for the client's true nature. It is our truth that heals and sets us free.

Arash Golnam, Ph.D., IAAP

I am a psychoanalyst trained at CG Jung Institute Zurich. A citizen of Iran and Switzerland, I now call Lima, Peru, my home. My journey seamlessly intertwines Persian poetry, Jungian Psychoanalysis, and Plant medicine; a tapestry of cultures, traditions, and philosophies spanning continents and centuries. This global perspective has enriched and deepened my understanding of the human condition.

Persian mystic poetry and mythology served as my first gateway into the soul, a journey that eventually led me to the teachings of Carl Jung. Currently, I am exploring the psychological aspects of Hafez's poetry. My immersion in plant medicine through the Shipibo healing traditions of Peru, has added depth and dimension to my work as a Jungian psychoanalyst. 

Before discovering my passion in psychoanalysis, I took on diverse roles: university lecturer, scientist, consultant, and engineer. My academic journey led me to the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich after earning a Ph.D. in Systems Science from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and a Master of Science in System Dynamics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

I believe that the human psyche embodies the divinity within, a supportive guiding matrix that harbors our inherent capacity for healing. Jungian psychoanalysis serves as a conduit to access this inner wellspring of wisdom, by tuning into its delicate whispers and subtle expressions whether they echo through dreams, visions, fantasies or art.

A careful and reflective exploration of our inner landscape uncovers insights and perspectives obscured by habits and long-held ideals and beliefs. This introspective journey not only brings to the surface the reasons underlying our emotional distress or inner conflicts, but also strengthens our innate psychological drive to find meaning and purpose.

I'm deeply passionate about music, composing songs on the guitar, and writing poetry. I offer therapy sessions in Farsi, English, and French. To know more about me, I invite you to visit: https://www.arash.ch/

Year after year, I searched outward, hoping to find what lay within,
Begging strangers for guidance, on a path intimately familiar to me.
I was seeking a pearl that transcends the bounds of time and space,
From those stranded on the shore, unacquainted with the mystery of the sea.

Hafez (my translation)

Dr. Leanne Whitney 

Leanne holds a doctorate in depth psychology and specializes in the intersection of Jungian psychology and Yoga. She works with clients one-on-one to resolve mental, emotional, and physical blocks which obscure the ever-present alignment of the authentic Self. 

At the basis of her psychophysical approach is the development of conscious receptivity of the present moment.

Thom Cavalli, Ph.D.

Thom was blessed with a calling – to teach, write and practice Jungian psychology. 

He received his B.A. from Queens College, New York and his doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology in San Diego. Together with a background in fine art, mythology and world travel, Dr. Thom has been in private practice for 35 years, and provides online therapy, coaching and in-person sessions in his Santa Ana, California office. Thom’s psychological practice includes dream analysis, psychological type, and active imagination. 

His latest special offering is alchemical coaching to people throughout the country and around the globe via various online platforms. This unique approach utilizes the principles and operations of alchemy to facilitate natural healing to achieve one’s goals and aspirations.

In addition to providing Analytic psychotherapy and coaching, Thom has authored two major books (Alchemical Psychology, Old Recipes for Living in a New World and Embodying Osiris) and numerous articles in prestigious Jungian journals. He’s a regular contributor of film and book reviews for the Jung Journal.  Along the way, Thom became fascinated with alchemical psychology, a subject he’s studied for decades. 

“Alchemical psychology is one of Jung’s greatest but least known contributions to the world. It is the open secret that defines a process that facilitates the natural evolution of personal and collective individuation. In therapy and coaching alchemical psychology, we learn to leverage the secrets of nature using alchemical recipes and operations, dream analysis and active imagination. Simply put we work at integrating conscious and unconscious content in realizing our purpose and meaning in life. The Philosopher’s Stone is the fulfillment of a lifetime lived deliberatively, purposefully and with joy.”

Thom has had the great privilege of teaching at Jungian Institutes (Los Angeles, Arizona, Vancouver), major universities (Cambridge UK, Chapman University), magic and mystery schools (Nine Gates and McBride’s Mysterium), Theosophical and Mason Lodges, Esalen Institute, psychological associations (American Psychological Association), and the International Alchemy Conference. He also loves his two cats (Ewok and Sam), enjoys lap swimming, riding his E-bike and has a world class library.

All these experiences are put to the service of keeping Thom’s commitment to offer the very best in Jungian psychotherapy and coaching.

Dr. Shelby is the author of two depth psychology books: Tracking the Wild Woman Archetype: A Guide to Becoming a Whole In-Divisible Woman (2018); and Love and Soul-Making: Searching the Depths of Romantic Love (2022), both published by Chiron Publications. She sees clients primarily in North America, but has time spots that work globally. 

She works with adults in various stages of personal transformation. She is gifted at working with the symbolic language of the soul, and she is dedicated to honoring the soul as it presents in the lived experience of daily life. Dr. Shelby’s method addresses the issues and complexes experienced in everyday life such as anxiety, depression, addiction, loss of meaning, relationship, and vocational struggles, etc., and works at identifying unconscious, long-standing patterns, feelings, and perspectives. Together you will work with dreams, synchronicity, the wisdom of the instinctual body, and active imagination to awaken untapped creativity and engage in the individuation process of Becoming. Therapy works at the symbolic level of the symptom or issue, taking into consideration the history, origin, and development in order to understand the underlying and not yet conscious meaning of the problem.

Yamini Deen

I'm a Jungian Analyst in training at ISAP Zurich. I offer in-person and online therapy to clients from diverse backgrounds worldwide. Born in India, I have trained and lived in Switzerland for several years. I am also a trained Enneagram practitioner, having used the system one-on-one and in group work for over a decade.

Working with compassionate presence and radical acceptance, I welcome all aspects of your experience. Weird thoughts and strange feelings are as welcome as the more socially acceptable parts that want to learn and grow. My therapeutic vision is integral – I consider the body and the mind, the individual and the collective, the political and the personal, the conscious and the unconscious.

Our sessions might involve open dialogue, dream work, active imagination, drawing, guided meditation, simple breathwork practices to regulate the nervous system, and kind chats with your younger parts. 

I am trauma-informed and approach mental health issues as systemic. I am dedicated to providing inclusive and culturally sensitive support. 

Before training in Jungian Analysis, I studied Psychology and Journalism and worked as a journalist for major national media in India. I'm also the co-director of the award-winning Swiss feature documentary Delhi Dreams.

My career has given me the honour of inhabiting vastly different worlds across cultures and socioeconomic situations. So, I know in my bones that there are a million different ways of being human. And finally, I am a relatable therapist on her journey, too. I undergo regular supervision to minimise my blind spots in the work. I am continuously learning how to navigate with love and grace the inevitable challenges my one precious life throws up! You can learn more about me at www.yaminideen.com

Justin Hamacher, MS

In my clinical work, I am relational – meaning that I'm prioritizing what's happening between us over restrictive theory or note taking. In order to keep our work together from becoming too cerebral I try to maintain our connections to body, intuition, heart, emotions and the universe. Though I am more focused on applied practice than theory, my Jungian work over the past 6 years has been acknowledged with a 2021 Gradiva Award from the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and a 2022 Scholarship from the CG Jung Foundation Zürich.

My training has taken place at the oldest Jungian training institute, the CG Jung Institute in Küsnacht Zürich, where I am a diploma candidate in Jungian psychoanalysis under their clinical supervision. I’m also completing my licensure as an Oregon state psilocybin facilitator. My earlier professional background has been as a full-time professor at the University of Washington and a creative director in the technology industry, with a recent focus in type 2 diabetes research and management. 

As a practicing creative artist in my work I use intuition and shamanic practices that connect to nature to access inspiration and creative drive. I continue this work in non-ordinary state of consciousness within my training as an Oregon state licensed psilocybin facilitator. If you are preparing to undergo a psychedelic journey or would like to process and integrate a past experience into your daily life, I’d be honored to accompany you on the path. I find that Jungian work and psychedelics blend naturally.

In psychoanalysis the hidden aspects of the psyche are encouraged to arrive in a trusting and safe therapeutic space, where we patiently examine what has arrived. Then we look at things through different lenses and identify positive and negative patterns. After that comes the ongoing work of how to integrate all of this into one’s daily lived experience. We may use tools like active imagination, narrative reflection, dream analysis, fantasy, creative expression (art, music, writing, dance, ecological/spatial work) and attention to synchronicity and other energetically rich psychic episodes to help with our understanding. The end goal is for you to live closer to your authentic self, the most courageous journey a person can undertake in this life.

I find my theoretical lineage in psychology, anthropology and the creative arts, through the writings and creative work of Carl Jung, Marie-Louis von Franz, Edward Edinger, Robert A. Johnson, Mircea Eliade, Jeanne Achterberg, Stanislov Grof, Terence McKenna, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Paul Éluard, André Breton, Paul Klee and others.

Come as you are. I hope we can meet and work together. Website: www.cascadejungianservices.org

Frida Åberg, Msc Psychology

I am a Psychologist with a MSc in clinical Psychology from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. My areas of research include the effect of social mirroring on creativity and the development of resilience in organizations. Currently undergoing training to become an IAAP certified Jungian analyst, I bring nearly two decades of experience in both group and individual settings.

One of the most common things I hear my clients express is feeling alone in what they are going through. I don’t believe we are ever alone in the human experience but connected through the collective. Understanding our inner worlds, is transforming the outer world simultaneously.

Jung’s writings and thoughts are not created as academic theories but are rooted in the human experience we all share. Through Jung’s work we gain access to a symbolic language that creates a connection to our souls and to the collective unconscious.

In my private practice my focus lies in exploring dreams, creativity, and self-expression with clients. Regardless of our life circumstances, I've found that the specific psychological symptoms we present with are often secondary to our willingness to explore the depths of our psyche. I am happy to be the facilitator of that process, wherever your starting point might be.

In my work I draw inspiration from my passion for literature, movies, and art. Born in Sweden, I have lived in France, Italy and now Catalonia, Spain where I work digitally. https://www.bluehousepsychology.com/

David Pressault, IAAP

David is a Jungian analyst with a strong background in the Arts. He developed a relationship to the unconscious through the art form of contemporary dance. He was a professional dancer and choreographer for 20 years and he still creates dances when time permits. In 2005, he retired from the stage as a dancer and began a Masters in dance at UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal). The following year, he began his training in Analytical Psychology at the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts and graduated in February 2012. Since then he has worked in private practice and offered supervision.

David’s fields of interest include Art, finding one’s creative nature, the individuation process as an embodied and lived reality and the exploration and interpretation of dreams.

He accompanies adults struggling with different life issues. His work invites one to share, observe and explore their life story. In this process, unconscious issues that are a source of suffering in the present reality are made conscious. In so doing, new energy can become available. This invites a different life view, better choices and new ways of being in the world which are more in tune with one’s deeper self. He works with dreams, artistic and creative material, along with everyday life situations.

“Either we live the life others want from us or we live our life.” – D. P.

David is a member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP), the Association of Jungian Psychoanalysts of Quebec (APJQ) and of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA). He is also a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT).

David works in both the English and French language.

Elisabeth Pomès, IAAP

Elisabeth first realized her love for psychology and psychotherapy when she started working with artists. Starting her career as a singer and later a voice teacher, she came in contact with artists who experienced debilitating stage fright and at times were blocked in their creativity. She started developing Performance Without Fear, a course in which she used her background in Yoga, Qigong, Meditation and Psychotherapy to help artists release tension both physically and psychologically.

At the same time, she discovered the works and psychology of Carl Jung and began her training in Analytical Psychology at the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts. She graduated in 2009. 

Elisabeth has a private practice in Toronto. She assists both adults and teenagers struggling with challenges such as anxiety, depression, loss and grief, difficult relationships, loss of meaning and life transitions. She also provides supervision.

Elisabeth also offers live video sessions. In those sessions we may spend time with any pressing issue of daily life, as well as with dreams, journaling, writing, artwork or spontaneous images from the Unconscious. The work of exploration is carried out in a safe and non-judgmental environment with patience, care, and respect for the process. By exploring the yet unknown or repressed parts of ourselves we make them conscious - we know ourselves better - and we can liberate some energy that allows us to make different choices, more in tune with who we truly are.  

Elisabeth’s focus is to assist someone in their unique Individuation Process. She believes that there is a potential for wholeness in each human being, an urge towards freedom, completeness and self-realization similar to that of a blade of grass, which manages to find its way to the sunlight even through rock and rubble. That is what gives life hope and meaning.

Elisabeth is a member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP) and the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA). She is also a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and of the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT).

 Elisabeth works in both the English and French language. Website: http://www.elisabethpomes.com

Joan Hawkins Wong, IAAP

People don't usually seek Jungian analysis when everything is going well. But when a problem arises that demands our attention, it can be an invitation to get to know ourselves better, an invitation to learn about parts of ourselves of which we know so little. As we become more familiar with our inner and outer dynamics, sometimes aspects of our lives which cause us to feel stuck, sad, or unfulfilled, lead us toward a new attitude or way of being.

The foundation of my work with others lies in my own analysis and inner work. Because of my own work, I am able to honour what is true and authentic for another. I listen deeply to your story, your concerns, and the challenges of your day-to-day life. Working together, we explore the content of your dreams and other symbolic material, content that arises from the depths of your psyche. This material has a way of guiding the analytic process and often provides a much-needed perspective. The work is always respectful of you and where you are in your process.

Until called to train as a Jungian analyst, I worked for many years as a speech-language pathologist, helping individuals with the “mechanics” of voice; as an analyst I continue to work with voice—the authentic inner voice that longs for expression.

I have a Master of Health Science degree from the University of Toronto and am a graduate of the Analyst Training Programme of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts. I live in Barrie, Ontario. I’m married and am an empty-nester.  I hold registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and am a member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP), the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA), and the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT).

Jayson Wong, IAAP

I operate with the premise that much of life’s suffering contains within itself an inner meaning, waiting to be discovered, seen, and realized. And where one suffers is often the place that contains the seed of new development and personal growth. What is being asked of us is to take the steps to enter deep within ourselves, in order to see what needs be seen, feel what needs be felt, and do what needs be done. Often times it is in the process of entering into ourselves that we find the “attitude” that meets our true needs.

As a Jungian analyst, I work with the unconscious contents as well as the conscious concerns of my clients, taking into consideration not only the demands of the outer life but also the requirement of the hidden life within. 

A primary interest of mine is in the area of religious studies, in particular the religious ideas and practices of Taoism, of Buddhism, of the I Ching and also the mystical traditions of Christian teachings. I have presented seminars for the public and taught courses for training-candidates in the above areas in the context of Jungian psychotherapy.

Given my personal interest in religious studies and my experience as a teacher in a Buddhist college, I often take into consideration the role that spirituality plays in psychotherapy as well as the role that psychotherapy plays in the development of one’s spiritual consciousness. In his autobiography, Jung writes:

“The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. . . . If we understand and feel that here in this life we already have a link with the infinite, desire and attitudes change. In the final analysis, we count for something only because of the essential we embody, and if we do not embody that, life is wasted.” 

As a Jungian analyst my wish is to enable my clients to become more conscious of their inner needs and to attend to what is “essential” for them when addressing their immediate concerns.

Jayson Wong received a B.A. in philosophy and M.A. in the field of religious studies, with major in Buddhism. He taught for five years as instructor at Nalanda College of Buddhist Studies in Toronto between 2000 and 2005. Presently, Jayson has a private practice as a registered psychotherapist and Jungian analyst in Barrie and in Toronto, Canada. He is a Faculty member of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts.

Dr. Adrienne Margarian IAAP

I am a registered and practicing Psychologist and Jungian Psychoanalyst based in Sydney Australia. I have been working therapeutically for 24 years commencing in Art Therapy and later in Psychology and Jungian Analysis. I have also completed a Ph.D. in Psychoanalytic studies focused on the emergence of Psychoanalytic practices in China.  I am a member of both the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts (ANZSJA).

I provide both psychotherapy and Jungian psychoanalysis with a diverse range of issues including relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, recurring illnesses, gender confusion, issues pertaining to sexual orientation and identity, grief and loss, child sexual assault and early relational trauma. Furthermore, I aim to address entrenched patterns of behavior, experiences of meaninglessness and emptiness, spiritual questioning, creative block, midlife and later adult life transition.

Additionally, I have specialist training in Cross-Cultural Psychology and have worked with patients from diverse backgrounds. Specifically, I work with cultural displacement and adjustment problems, inter-generational issues with families from diverse backgrounds.

My approach commences with an assessment to determine your needs. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore unconscious motivations that influence conscious behavior. By examining this material in the therapeutic frame, a process occurs that allows repeat patterns of sabotaging behavior to be understood, resulting in greater personal freedom, increased self-awareness, more meaningful relations with others and the felt sense of being more comfortable in one’s skin. Whilst this process can take time, it is necessary given the entrenchment and repeating nature of these issues, which are difficult to address with short-term interventions.

Suzanne Musters, IAAP

Suzanne Musters is a certified Jungian Analyst and Registered Psychotherapist. She is a graduate of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts in Toronto. She is a long time resident of Huntsville, Ontario where she maintains a private practice.With a background as an educator, process facilitator and labyrinth facilitator Suzanne also facilitates for small groups interested in spiritual and psychological growth through the creative and embodied exploration of myths and dreams. 

“ Only what is truly oneself has the power to heal.”  C.G. Jung

Central to Suzanne’s practice is C.G. Jung’s core belief that individuation, becoming who we really are, is the privilege of a lifetime and the aim of life. 

It is the dialogue between the daytime world of waking consciousness and the night-time world of the unconscious through the exploration of dreams, images and bodily symptoms that can reconnect us to our health and wholeness and the realization of our full potential and meaning in life.

I work with people who desire self-knowledge and a deeper exploration of what keeps them stuck in old destructive patterns that repeatedly sabotage their vitality, relationships and emotional well-being.  

Working symbolically with the client’s story, dreams and bodily symptoms, I help them connect with the images and impulses that arise from depths of the unconscious, the living source of renewal and meaning in life.

We look beneath the surface of a person’s distress in order to connect them with the guiding wisdom of the unconscious. This vital connection can bring them closer to the core of the personality that is whole. 

Among the issues that people bring to therapy are anxiety, depression, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, spiritual crisis, bereavement and the search for meaning in life, especially in the second half of life.

Karl L Dehne, M.D., IAAP

Karl L Dehne is a Medical Doctor, Public Health Expert and Psychoanalyist who lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland. After decades working as a medical practitioner in Peru, Germany and Zimbabwe and as a United Nations health and HIV expert in different countries in Africa, Asia and Europe, his passion now is to help individuals realize their inner callings. In addition to his diploma in Jungian Psychoanalysis from the CG Jung Institute at Zürich, Switzerland, Karl holds academic degrees in psychology, medicine, public health and population geography. He is affiliated with the CGJIZ and the IAAP. 

Karl loves to work with young and older adults from different backgrounds, listening to their stories and concerns and trying to understand their needs and aspirations. He aims to provide them with a safe space that allows them to tolerate liminality and trust the unconscious, and to help them to better connect inner and outer life.

He is specifically interested in and has experience in working on such issues as life-course changes and transitions, career development, cross-cultural psychology, sexual health, relationship issues, drug addiction, anxiety and depression.

“The brave man is not who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” - Nelson Mandela

In Karl’s experience, many especially younger adults not only suffer from low self-esteem, troubled relationships, tilted work-life balances, and a sense of alienation in a new setting or life phase, but also have a rich inner life with both dark sides and enormous creative resources that can be discovered and realized.

Using classic Jungian methods, Karl focuses on dreamwork with his clients, but also uses drawings and paintings, complex work, fairy tales and other symbolic materials, to help bring unconscious contents to consciousness.

“No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.” - CG Jung

Karl offers analysis in English and German. He also speaks French, Spanish and Portuguese. He now only works online.

Margot Sippel, Registered Psychotherapist

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario and over the years I’ve had a deep Jungian education. In practice since the mid eighties, I’ve studied intensively with Marion Woodman where I came to appreciate that our minds and bodies both respond when working with symbols and metaphor. I spent four years in analyst training with the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts in Toronto and that knowledge and experience has deepened and enriched my psychotherapy practice with adults and adolescents. 

 Jung believed that we have a deep, innate drive towards wholeness. In our work together we will strive to encourage and strengthen that drive, while dealing with obstacles in both your inner and outer life.

I continue to be fascinated by the ability of art, music, and dreams to connect with unconscious material, leading to new insight and opening the door to change, however my clients can choose to work in any way that best suits them. My years as an Art Therapist on a Mental Health and Addictions unit has convinced me that art can reach deep into the unconscious but being able to draw is not a prerequisite and many people choose to simply talk.

I live in a small village on the shores of Lake Huron in Canada, having retired as Professor Emeritus from Fanshawe College in London and have been learning to play the Celtic harp. 

Caroline Duetz, IAAP

Caroline is a Jungian Analyst and Psychotherapist who has been in private practice in Toronto since 1988.  Born in The Netherlands,  Caroline started her working life as an elementary teacher,  teaching first in New Zealand and later in Toronto. With a life-long interest and curiosity about human nature Caroline has trained in and experienced a wide variety of  therapeutic approaches.  These include Gestalt Therapy, body work,  personal psychotherapy, Jungian analysis, neurobiology,  Masters level studies in counselling psychology and Jungian Analyst training.

Caroline considers the psychology of Carl Jung her strongest and most life-changing influence. What especially appeals to her was his ability to be curious without any judgemental attitudes towards his clients.   Caroline considers that approach a crucial aspect of how she likes to work with others.   

Through her many years of personal therapy and Jungian analysis Caroline has developed a profound admiration and respect for the Unconscious.  Carl Jung taught that healing comes from the Unconscious and therefore her focus is to create a safe environment to guide people  in a gentle process of discovering what has previously been hidden.  This can facilitate a new approach to the challenges of daily life such as relationship dynamics in family and work, understanding the dynamics of internal conflict, struggles with eating and body image, as well as lesbian and gay issues.  Caroline brings a focus on assisting her clients gradually to foster a deeper and more compassionate relationship with themselves.  Caroline is especially fond of dream analysis, but also uses writing,  active imagination, body awareness, the I Ching , guided meditation, creative activities and other modalities to help in this process.   

Important in personal work is the influence of childhood experiences in shaping who we are as adults and understanding how these early experiences can imprison us in outdated and false perceptions of ourselves and others.  Caroline can help make sense of which of our current struggles are rooted in the past and how the early adaptations we made in order to survive,  can still manifest in our current lives as habitual actions or reactions  to everyday situations and relationships.  Becoming more aware of these dynamics can in time,  free us to be more true to the inner Self and live life with more satisfaction and authenticity.

Caroline offers individual therapy as well as supervision.  She is a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario (CRPO), a member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP), a member of the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (OAJA) and a member of the Ontario Society for Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP).

Alexis Durgee, M.S., LMHC

Alexis Durgee is a trained psychoanalytic-psychodynamic, depth psychotherapist in private practice whose work emphasizes the importance of becoming embodied through soul work and meaning-making. She approaches psyche from the perspective of analytical complexity by acknowledging that each symptom, every image, is part of a greater emerging wholeness that yearns to animate from within. It is by bringing this individual dance to consciousness that the client can come to understand their own unconscious with love and integrity rather than fear, avoidance and stagnation. Alexis embraces radical inclusivity and engages the universal language of mythopoetics and metaphor, as they reveal a creative bridge to healing through depth psychology and inner work.

Alexis is a trauma-informed therapist, trained in the Jungian or analytical psychotheray discipline as well as archetypal, humanistic, narrative and systems theory. She has also been clinically trained in trauma treatment, relational and humanistic approaches, acceptance commitment therapy, mentalization based therapy, liberation therapy, and conscious LGBTQA+ treatment methods.

She specializes in both the classical and post-Jungian schools of depth psychology, pulling specifically from Woodman, Von Franz, Hillman, Giegerich and Kalsched. Her dissertation research focuses on the concept of Soul rape and the oppressed/repressed images of Soul in dreams. You can follow Alexis on Instagram @alchemicaltoil

Patrick Burnett, IAAP

Patrick hails from the Byron Bay region of Australia. He has been practising as a Jungian analyst for over 20 years since graduating from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich in the late 1990s.

Jungian analytic work for Patrick is a place where people have the opportunity to deeply explore their own mind, motivations and potentials in a setting that is supportive, empathic and completely non-judgmental. He believes that the human mind is able to heal itself and bring itself back into balance given the right circumstances. Patrick likes to work with dreams, imagination and the spontaneous workings of the mind during the analytic session (including his own). He also stresses the need to attend to the body and the emotions whilst doing this work. To facilitate the analytic process Patrick encourages clients to use meditation and mindfulness practice to become more aware of their own internal processes and resources. 

Patrick is a past president of the C.G. Jung Society of Sydney, previous vice-president of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts and currently sits on the executive of the board of the Australasian Confederation of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapies.
