Jungian Analysis & Trauma Therapy in Reading
As a senior training and supervising Jungian Analyst, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate complex psychological challenges through depth psychotherapy. With over two decades of experience since qualifying in 2014, I combine classical Jungian analysis with cutting-edge trauma therapies like EMDR and IFS to address issues ranging from anxiety and depression to deep-seated trauma and existential crises. My practice is grounded in rigorous academic training, including a Doctorate in Environmental Management and postgraduate qualifications in analytical psychology, alongside continuous professional development and regular supervision by senior practitioners. I adhere strictly to ethical frameworks set by the UKCP and Guild of Pastoral Psychology, ensuring the highest standards of client care. My approach emphasizes creating a safe, confidential space where clients can explore their inner worlds through dream analysis, active imagination, and unconscious exploration.Having trained under the Guild of Analytical Psychologists, I bring both technical expertise and compassionate understanding to every session, whether working in person from my Reading base or online with clients worldwide. The transformative potential of Jungian analysis has been life-changing for my clients, as evidenced by numerous testimonials detailing breakthroughs in self-understanding and emotional wellbeing. I also provide clinical supervision to fellow therapists, specializing in psychodynamic approaches and unconscious process work. My commitment to excellence is demonstrated through my dual registration with the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) and UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), alongside accreditation from EMDR UK.

Services
Jungian Analysis
Jungian analysis explores unconscious processes through dream interpretation and symbolic imagery to address psychological imbalances. This long-term therapy helps clients achieve self-wholeness by integrating unconscious elements into conscious awareness. Particularly effective for existential crises, relationship issues and chronic mental health conditions.
Trauma Treatment
Specialised trauma therapy combines EMDR and IFS techniques to reprocess distressing memories. This approach effectively treats PTSD symptoms, childhood trauma and complex grief by restructuring negative thought patterns. Sessions focus on building emotional resilience and restoring psychological equilibrium through evidence-based methodologies.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy uses bilateral stimulation to help process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact. This structured approach follows eight-phase treatment protocols to address distressing experiences and negative self-beliefs. Particularly beneficial for anxiety disorders, phobias and post-trauma recovery.
IFS Therapy
Internal Family Systems therapy works with sub-personalities to resolve internal conflicts and heal trauma. This non-pathologizing approach fosters self-leadership by harmonising different 'parts' of the psyche. Effective for managing emotional dysregulation, addictive patterns and improving interpersonal relationships.
Clinical Supervision
Professional supervision for psychotherapists specialising in psychodynamic approaches and unconscious process work. Tailored support focuses on case management, ethical practice and personal development. Combines Jungian principles with contemporary therapeutic techniques to enhance clinical effectiveness and practitioner wellbeing.
