Gail Collins-Webb
I'm an IAAP Jungian Analyst registered with the Guild of Analytical Psychologists (GAP) in London. I work in private practice in Reading Berkshire and online. I'm a qualified clinical Supervisor and Trainer. I provide both short therapy and longer term analysis.
As a classically trained Jungian, focused attention and concentration is given to dreams, fantasies and other manifestations of the unconscious. The symbols are worked with and reflected on through image and the language of the unconscious. This process has a healing and balancing effect on the mind.
If one's inner life is not valued but is rejected as irrelevant, it responds with a life of mental and physical distress. The goal of the work is self-knowledge towards wholeness and of nourishing the one unique individual you are.
As a qualified trauma specialist, I provide integrated IFS-EMDR therapy. This technique works with the different parts of our minds to heal wounds from trauma and distress and remaps the negatives thoughts and beliefs we have about ourselves. This can lift depression and anxiety, release addictive and compulsive behaviours, and restore positive self belief and feelings of well being.
As a supervisor, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental, developmental and collaborative relationship, valuing honesty, openness and maintaining ethical practice. I endeavour to take into account your style of learning and approach and to provide the right balance of support and challenge, enabling you to reflect on your own practice and the relationship between yourself and your clients.
