Susan Hong
Jungian Analyst
CG Jung Institute, Zürich (IAAP)
I am a certified Jungian Analyst, CGJIZ based in Zürich, Switzerland.
I work with adults coming from different cultures and backgrounds, both with individuals dealing with mental health issues and those interested in personal development.
My approach is shaped by Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, the Swiss Psychoanalyst and Psychiatrist. The Jungian approach places great importance on the inner world and the connection with our unconscious side to make it more conscious. Psychoanalysis is an experience and a process, not an off-the-shelf solution, that serves as a bridge to help connect different worlds: the conscious and unconscious, the inner and outer, as well as the different worlds in which one may struggle to find home. By looking deep into the psyche, we can better connect with our feelings, and understand our personality, actions and interactions with others.
From a young age I had the desire to explore the wider (outer) world and my career advancement allowed me to do so. With maturity in personality, I became more passionate about people's well-being and their inner world and in following that passion I gradually shifted my professional focus to analytical psychology. Having lived abroad half my life and shifting career focus, I am at ease bridging different worlds and my own journey has brought me through liminal spaces with meaningful experiences that flowed into my analytical work with my clients.
Life often comes with changes and surprises and we may occasionally lose our way or our balance; I accompany individuals to look inwards to build independent lives, to navigate life transitions and crises and to bring about possible transformation. As well as treating the presented symptoms, I work with dreams and other unconscious materials to build a dialogue between our conscious and the unconscious worlds. I work with private clients on healing and also in exploring their inner world of psyche and support them to reflect, to uncover their potentials and to develop and heal in times of change and challenge at the crossroad of their life.
I offer individual sessions in person and online, in English and in Chinese.
