Jared Green

I am an experienced, UKCP registered integrative psychotherapist and supervisor.

I am a depth psychotherapist, which means that I work toward the the process of individuation (Carl Jung). In this orientation, symptoms such as anxiety and depression are seen as pointers to where we might have become detached from our innate self. This is quite a complex concept, but the headline is that sometimes in life, we get off track.

Through the therapy process, we would be exploring what track you've ended up on, and as we unpack that, we start to see the track the innate self might need you to be on. Along the way, we look at where you might have become stuck or where you've had traumatic adaption, so we can unpick those obstacles.

The work is largely in the talking mode, though working with creativity, dreams, visualisation and embodied emotion is also employed. I would also be using the relationship between you and I to make sense of what has happened in the past. Sessions are weekly, unless it becomes clear that a deeper piece of work is possible and needed, in which case we might meet two or three times per week.

Although your presenting issue is the starting point of our work together, this method seeks to free the true self from familial and societal conditioning and developmental trauma. This in turn resolves difficult psychological symptoms, but also creates a more free flowing psyche, which is more resilient, emotionally attuned to self and other. Along the way, a more clear understanding of life purpose is often gained, and the energy to achieve that purpose is released.

I work with clients where repeating patterns are holding them back and they are ready to seek a holistic change. I often work with clients who have already had some form of therapy, but for whatever reason are now seeking a deeper process. This way of working does require some preparedness to look deeply at oneself.

What's next?

Please check my website for latest availability information. Due to the nature of my work, spaces come up fairly infrequently, so on the "contact me" page there is some availability information.

The way I work relates to underlying processes within the psyche, so I am able to work with a broad range of presenting issues. That said, I understand there can be comfort from knowing your therapist is aware of the territory of your situation.

To that end, I am listing some of the specific areas I have experience with:

• Reprocessing childhood experience and relationships, including divorce, abuse/neglect, narcissistic parenting, abandonment, migration, boarding school, early losses, etc
• Sexuality and gender, as well as sexual difficulties and the interaction between relationships and sex, sex and spirituality
• Grief and loss, including bereavement but also grief for our "unlived" life
• Anxiety (including OCD), depression, self harm and suicidality. I have experience working with dysregulated and disorganised attachment structures and complex presentations such as borderline and fragmented states
• Intergenerational and collective trauma and ancestral issues. I have experience working with racial trauma and people who grew up in colonial contexts
• I work toward resolving the underlying causes of addictive processes and behaviours - e.g. eating, smoking, drinking, apps & internet, work, sex and drugs

My rate is offered on a sliding scale, depending on your means and how frequently we meet. This allows me to see clients in my practice who may otherwise not be able to pay my fee.

There is availability and pricing information available on my website.
