Jungian analysis and psychotherapy
About Jungian Analysis
Jungian psychoanalysis works a bit differently than counselling and psychotherapy since it often means going into greater depths of the psyche over a longer period, with the aim of deep healing, transformation and maturing of the personality. In analysis, we work not just with daily life issues and symptoms but also with unconscious material such as dreams and images that are then integrated into consciousness for healing and wholeness. Patients who undergo psychoanalysis find themselves better able to take responsibility for their lives and to have greater understanding and empathy for themselves and others. It can be particularly helpful where shorter treatments have not been effective, releasing deep emotional blocks, revealing new potentials of the personality and fostering creativity. While the modern world often encourages quick-fix solutions to problems, the psychoanalytic model understands that deep, slow, intensive work brings lasting and profound change.
Below, I've set out some practical details of what this entails so you know what to expect. If you have other questions or if something doesn't make sense to you, please feel free to reach out by email (roisinjungian@gmail.com) and I'll be happy to respond.
Initial consultation
The initial consultation lasts 50 minutes and is an opportunity for us to mutually determine if we might work well together. We can discuss what is going on for you and I can answer any questions you might have. There is no obligation to continue if you decide after the initial consultation that I am not the right therapist for you.
Location
I offer both in-person (College Road, Cork city centre) and online Jungian analysis and psychotherapy.
How often and for how long?
Psychoanalysis is a type of depth psychology that means working at a minimum frequency of once-weekly sessions, ideally at the same time every week. This pattern of regular weekly attendance is an integral part of the treatment and allows us to develop a reliable therapeutic container in which the deep healing work can take place.
When you start analysis, you may come with a specific issue in mind that you would like to work on for a short time, or you may already feel that you would like to engage in a deeper transformation process over a longer timeframe. Both intentions are fine and the length of the analysis will ultimately depend on where you are in life and your conscious and unconscious needs and intentions. Please be mindful however that real, lasting transformation takes time and presence.
Fees
The fee for clients living in Ireland is 80 euro per 50-minute session, including VAT.
