What is life coaching?

Sometimes when you travel on a long journey, you meet people who help you understand your life in a new and transformative way. In fact, there’s a word in German, Weggenosse, for exactly that kind of person, and this is also a good word to describe what a life coach is. It’s someone you meet along your way who helps you understand something important about yourself.

What is Jungian Coaching?

Often, some part of ourselves already sees and knows the answers to our life dilemmas, but because we don’t always know how to hear that part of us, we can feel lost. Carl Jung saw that part of ourself as the “unconscious,” and Jungian coaching focuses on helping you hear what your unconscious Self is trying to tell you.

What kinds of issues can this help with?

Jungian coaching is a particularly powerful framework for working through feelings of being “stuck.” It’s especially useful for the times in our lives where we want more but don’t quite know what that means or how to get there.

People I’ve coached have also found it very helpful for building self-esteem, getting more in touch with the body and what it’s saying, learning how to set effective boundaries, reframing goals, gaining more confidence, overcoming internal barriers, and reclaiming agency in their lives.

Is this like therapy?

No, and it’s good to understand the difference. It’s a lot like the difference between a physical therapist and a gym trainer. One is skilled to help you heal past injuries, the other one is skilled to help you get stronger. So, though the past might sometimes come up in our conversations, you and I will focus on where you want to go, not where you’ve been.

What happens in a session?

Please note that all sessions are confidential, and Jungian coaches abide by the International Coaching Federation’s Code of Ethics.

Coaching sessions are one hour long and occur via Zoom. My role as a coach is to provide tools and hold space for you to listen to your unconscious self. We’ll talk about your life and specific dilemmas and challenges you face, and then, through the use of symbols, art, myth, and conversations with the self, I’ll hold space for you to hear what your Self wants you to know.

How many sessions should I do, and how often?

Coaching is “client-led,” meaning that it’s up to you to decide how many sessions you’d like and also how frequently you’d like to do them. A good rule of thumb is weekly or every two weeks towards the beginning of our journey, with longer spaces in-between for later sessions, and many will benefit from between six and twelve sessions.

How much do sessions cost and how do I sign up?

Each one-hour session costs $65 USD, with sliding-scale options available for those who need them.
