Jacqueline BentleyJungian Analysis, Psychotherapy and Clinical Supervision
in West London

Jungian Analyst, Gestalt Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor in West London

I work with individuals and adolescents over 14 years.

Some people feel they have not been living their lives to the full; some feel they have never quite found themselves. This is where JUNGIAN ANALYSIS and PSYCHOTHERAPY are appropriate.

Jungian Analysts - Carl Jung, a contemporary of Freud, called us Analytical Psychologists - are interested in all the ways we communicate and know things, what is conscious and what is unconscious. Jungian Analysis is about finding our authentic selves, finding out what matters to us in life and finding a way of living it.

We will look at your dreams, images and symbols to help decode what your unconscious is trying to help you know. This is often really interesting and fun - and to be honest, sometimes difficult. I will ensure we go at a pace that feels safe to you. Your safety and confidentiality are paramount to me. It is important for our work that we form a relationship. We make a commitment to one another and work to understand the complex being that is you. This means there is the opportunity for tremendous insight and growth.

Specific issues people come with are:

• work stress
• loss
• health issues
• relationship issues
• cultural identity
• anger
• depression or anxiety
• career issues
• identity crisis
• gender and sexuality

I am committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy and analysis in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I belong to various professional associations - the Association of Jungian Analysts, London (AJA), the International Association of Jungian Analysts (IAAP), the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists (UKCP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and I am a senior member of BACP. I abide by their stringent codes of ethics. I am qualified to supervise. I am an approved training therapist on the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Programmes at the University of Exeter.

I offer both day and evening appts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in Brentford, West London which is in easy reach of Chiswick, Acton, Ealing and Sunbury. My room is close to South Ealing Station on the Piccadilly Line and is served by a number of buses, 65, 237, 267, from Shepherds Bush, Gunnersbury, Chiswick, and Hounslow. There is easy parking.
