About Psychotherapy Many people experience psychological distress during their lives. Sometimes this due to a difficult or traumatic childhood, trauma in later life or the difficulties and pressures of everyday living.
The Jungian approach can be very helpful in the treatment of anxiety, depression, inferiority feelings and relationship difficulties. It can also help those who have trouble with work or motivation, or who are simply finding their life unsatisfying, unrewarding or stressful. It can help us to connect with the deeper parts of our nature - often obscured or sidelined among the stresses and anxieties of our life.
The therapeutic process involves bringing to consciousness the unconscious aspects of a person’s problems. One of the main ways of doing this is to help a client examine their everyday life and personal interactions, and how these are affected by their inner (often unconscious) assumptions and responses. Another important way lies in the analysis of dreams, and the use of creative imagination and visualisation.
As in any form of psychotherapy, it is also important to look at the story of a person's life, and how this affects their relationship with their sexuality, partners, work and leisure. In addition to this, for some people, a spiritual or religious dimension comes into the picture as well.
