Jungian Analyst in Colchester
Jungian analysis is available in Colchester with Philippe Jacquet — one of the very few Jungian analysts practising in Essex. Colchester sessions offer the same depth and quality of analytical work as the London practices, without the journey to the city. Online sessions are also available and provide the full depth of analytical engagement.
Jungian analysis in Essex
Finding a Jungian analyst outside London is not straightforward. Most analytical psychologists and Jungian-trained practitioners are concentrated in the capital. The Colchester practice makes this depth of work available in Essex — for those who want genuinely depth-oriented therapy without the commitment of regular London travel.
Jungian analysis is interested in the unconscious — in the dreams, symbols, patterns and complexes that organise a person’s inner life beneath the level of conscious awareness. It takes a particular interest in the shadow: the parts of the self that have been excluded from conscious identity and that create difficulty for precisely that reason. And it is oriented toward individuation — Jung’s term for the process of becoming more fully oneself, of living a life that is genuinely one’s own.
What brings people to Jungian analysis in Colchester
Some have tried other approaches and found that something essential was not being reached. Some arrive at a turning point in life — a mid-life question, a loss, a sense that the life they are living is not the one they intended. Some come with specific presentations: depression, anxiety, relationship patterns that repeat, grief that has not been properly mourned, a creative or professional identity that has become stuck.
Jungian analysis is also available in Colchester alongside clinical supervision for therapists and counsellors practising in Essex — see the supervision page for more information.
Sessions in Colchester and online
Sessions are available in person in Colchester and via secure video link. Online sessions offer the same depth of analytical engagement and are particularly useful for those whose schedules make regular in-person attendance difficult, or who are based elsewhere in Essex or East Anglia. No referral is required to begin.
