About

An ordinary life coach is often someone who helps you with goals, keeps you motivated and positive. A Jungian life coach does that too, but is more focused on your individuation (shadow integration). So the focus is more on being than doing. Inner work is what Robert A. Johnson called it.

As such, the sessions are 100% confidential and never ever recorded. I have an awareness to avoid transference and counter transference. Instead, a Jungian life coach will "hold" things for you while you heal.

1) Things such as emotions: allow client to express difficult emotions without judgement.

2) Psychological Space: The coach creates a dedicated space for the client to explore their inner world, anxieties, and unconscious thoughts.

3) Boundaries: The therapist maintains clear boundaries within the relationship. This allows the client to explore their own sense of self without becoming reliant on the coach.

4) The individuation Process: The coach guides the client through the process of shadow integration itself, ensuring the client remains focused on their own growth and exploration.

Jungian life coaches often focus on the unconscious mind and archetypes. The coach might be "holding" these concepts for the client, helping them understand their influence on their life.

So you won't see the coach acting as a surrogate parent, providing unsolicited solutions, or offering unconditional love. Instead, there's an expectation of responsibility and, as Marion Woodman often said: "doing the work".

    He is sincere, welcoming and gives you his best. In addition to his long experience in the corporate world and his decades-long studies and readings in Jungian psychology, for me and him it was/is not only understanding Jung but bringing Jung to life, to individual life.
