Analytic-Jungian Therapy in The Hague
English-Speaking Depth Oriented Therapy in The Hague to help with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, creative growth, life transition, and healing.
Analytic-Jungian Therapy is a type of psychodynamic therapy used for individual work. It is a creative psychological modality which emphasizes working with the unconscious to encourage authenticity and self-awareness.
This approach, based on the work of C.G.Jung, encourages clients to explore the unconscious, archetypes, and personal symbols to foster emotional healing and self-discovery.
Jung named his type of therapy, “Analytic Psychology” as a way of demonstrating the importance of analyzing all the components of the psyche in order to integrate them and move towards wholeness, or individuation. This name also served as a way to distinguish his psychology from Freud’s, “Psychoanalytic Psychology”.
In Analytic-Jungian therapy we work together with dreams, active imagination, exploring memories, and creative expression to help you find meaning and foster a deep sense of self. In our work together we will also use the psychoanalytic approach of looking deeply at your childhood in order to understand which unconscious mechanisms might have been activated in your youth.
***Although dreams are a very important part of Jungian work it is ok if you can’t remember you dreams in the beginning. Usually, once you start psychodynamic work it becomes easier to remember your dreams.
Analytic-Jungian therapy can be viewed as a journey into your inner world.
This type of therapy is deep and can involve hard work which can result in lasting change and a renewed sense of self. We advise that clients attend sessions weekly or twice a week to start.

How Does Analytic-Jungian Therapy Work?
Analytic-Jungian therapy is a type of long term therapy that can help you heal and grow. During sessions we work together to help you come to terms with the different parts of yourself. This allows you to move through the world in a more whole, aware, and connected way. Some patients stay in therapy for only a year or under, but most patients stay in therapy for several years. During Analytic-Jungian sessions we will work together to explore your psyche through dreams, art, and dialogue. We will examine the ways you view yourself and the world. Analytic-Jungian therapy is helpful for people looking to make long-lasting shifts in their relationship with their self and the world.
