Author, Training Analyst, Supervisor and Psychotherapist
I work online as well as in my practice near Geneva, Switzerland, in private practice, in English, French, German and Italian.
As a Jungian Training Analyst and Supervisor, I am affiliated with the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich (CGJI) and work as a Consultant with the Geneva University Hospital (HUG) Psychiatry Department.
I also work as a Swiss federally licensed Psychotherapist.
Prior to this, I worked for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in New York and Geneva, from 1983 to 1998.
My Practice of Jungian Analysis
“The self is the principle and archetype of orientation and meaning.” – C. G. Jung, Memories, Dreams and Reflections (MDR), 1965, p. 199
My approach is psycho-dynamic and process-oriented, and known as Analytical Psychology or Depth Psychology, founded by the Swiss Psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). Analysis and therapy are conducted face to face, in a dialogue between analyst and analysand, with a view facilitating discovery of unconscious processes and glimpses of the self, in dreams, images and symbols in every-day life.
“The psyche is transformed or developed by the relationship of the ego to the contents of the unconscious… (this is) the central concept of my psychology: the process of individuation.” – C. G. Jung, (MDR), p. 209
Minding the self is the “task of individuation” writes Murray Stein in Minding The Self (2014).
“Often a lot of work must be done in psychotherapy to clear away the clutter of misperceptions that we have of ourselves and to see our uniqueness when we look in the psychic mirror.” (in Stein’s Foreword to “Individuation for Adult Replacement Children” by Kristina E. Schellinski)
I include a special awareness for echoes in the psyche of transgenerational transmissions of unconscious contents as well as for a symbolic expression of psyche-soma connections.
