Joel Crichton

Joel is a Jungian Analyst, trained at the C.G. Jung Institute of Zürich, living and working in Victoria, Canada. He brings a diversity of experience to his analytical practice, having worked in the arts, as an educator, for government, as an entrepreneur and as a sailor.

For him, analysis is led by the patient. He sees it as a process of navigating the many tense contradictions of life. He works in a way that is relational, collaborative, and insight-based, working to recognize, understand, and when necessary challenge the deeper patterns that underlie the patient’s life.

He is experienced in working with a breadth of issues, from anxiety, depression and obsession to personality disorders, complex family-of-origin trauma, and spiritual concerns.

A former actor, playwright, and musician, he has a deep appreciation for the creative process and its demands.

His book Jungian Shakespeare is published by Routledge. He is also the creator of Retell, an iPhone/Android app which teaches depth psychology, journaling, and shadow work through stories.
