Counselling Therapy
Depth psychology is a method based on the teachings of the Swiss physician C. G. Jung. It is a form of psychotherapy, which addresses the interaction of conscious and unconscious elements, bringing the latter into consciousness in order to focus on life experiences that can create feelings of meaninglessness, exhaustion, loss of creativity, and spiritual emptiness

Books
Love and Soul-Making: Searching the Depths of Romantic Love (published 2022 by Chiron Publications) Romantic relationships are often laden with psychological expectations of mythic proportions. This book examines key relationship fairy tales and myths, including the myth of Psyche and Eros, as it mines the treasures of depth psychological thinking about love, desire, sexuality, and marriage. Concepts such as libido, anima and animus, projection, transference, and beauty are queried along with the premise of two unions, the inner and the outer.
Tracking the Wild Woman Archetype: A Guide to Becoming a Whole Indivisible Woman (published 2018 by Chiron Publications) By midlife, a woman may become conscious of some of the ways culture has overdomesticated her, and she may have become aware of her own wild, instinctual animal nature. The wild woman archetype within a woman’s psyche is an expression of her innate, soulful essence.
