Sally McLaren Jungian Analytic Psychotherapist
About me
I am a qualified and BPC registered Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist with over twenty years; clinical experience. I have a particular and longstanding interest in the work and ideas of Carl Jung and am now in the final stages of qualifying as a Jungian analyst.
My consulting room is in Horsham in a quiet location on the edge of St Leonard's Forest.
I provide a secure and confidential setting in which to talk about whatever issues may be troubling you – whether that is anxiety, depression, repeating patterns of behaviour, problems in relationships, loss, long term emotional difficulties, or a lack of fulfilment or sense of meaning in life.
I recognise that the difficulties which bring people into therapy are often the tip of the iceberg with deeper underlying causes requiring exploration and understanding in the context of a secure and confidential therapeutic relationship.
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who had a profound respect for the individual and the wisdom buried in the individual's own psyche. And, like Jung, I believe that crises are a calling for psychological development.
Starting Therapy
Taking the first step can be daunting. You are most welcome to telephone me or send an e-mail with your questions before we decide a time to meet.
The initial consultation takes place over two separate sessions and my fee for this is £70 per session. These sessions take place in the same week or consecutive weeks. This is an opportunity to explore the difficulties and to think about what may best facilitate change and growth before agreeing to embark on the process of therapy.
The therapeutic process requires continuity in order to be effective. It therefore involves a commitment to a minimum of once weekly sessions and we would agree a regular time to meet on the same day each week. Sessions are fifty minutes long. This time is kept for you and I do therefore charge for all sessions that you miss or cancel, whatever the reason.
I offer sessions at a frequency of once to five times weekly. More frequent sessions can provide greater continuity and containment (the sense of being safely held so that deeper parts of oneself can be explored). This offers the potential for deep rooted and lasting change for individuals willing to engage in longer term therapy.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
British Psychoanalytic Council

The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
