Jungian Psychotherapy
C.G. Jung was one of the earliest developers, along with Freud, of psychoanalytic work that involved looking deeply below the surface of ego consciousness to discover the repressed and hidden patterns of thought and memory that may be influencing the conscious state and contributing to suffering or illness.

His work is famous for reconnecting the field of psychology to its historical roots as “the work of the soul”, his exploration of universal archetypal patterns in the psyche, and his pioneering theory of the Collective Unconscious, which links individual consciousness back to the cultural and mythic stories, fables and dreams of humanity as a whole. As a scientist, a psychologist, and a student of human history and culture, Jung was perhaps first and foremost a mystic; he was one of the first so-called “spiritual psychologists” due to his belief that the deepest levels of the individual self are intimately connected to a transpersonal, divine source.
Dr. Hull’s approach to Jung’s work is eclectic and innovative. He chooses from a plethora of approaches, theories and applications that incorporate the full range of Jungian, archetypal and psychoanalytic theory. This might involve working with individual dreams, creating mandalas, or using active imagination techniques with spontaneous movement, writing, or painting, where the symbolic language of the unconscious may be accessed and interpreted. In any case, the intent is always practical: to release the individual from the energy blockages—or complexes—associated with trauma from the past, to ground and provide resources in the present, and to support the client in taking the crucial steps to transform the future.
