Leanne Downs

I am passionate about the transformative potential of the analytical relationship. Starting my training as a hospice social worker, I transitioned to psychotherapy and eventually trained to be a Jungian Analyst at the CG Jung Institute in Zurich. I find it a great privilege and honor to be a witness and companion to others in times of transition, initiation, confusion, and turmoil.

Originally from the US, I've lived in Canada since 2020. I see clients in person on Salt Spring Island, BC, as well as online with people living in the US and Canada. I see my psychoanalytical clients weekly and this part of practice is often full. To accommodate other priorities and budgets, I also offer self-scheduled, self-paced sessions for those who would like to experience working with a Jungian Analyst at their own pace. Please visit my website for more information.

We all have the capacity to live a satisfying, meaningful life and to understand ourselves deeply. Instead of following a structured program of therapeutic technique, our work together will be as unique as you are.
