John Betts

John was awarded his Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2006. This Diploma permits John to practice as a Jungian Analyst.

John graduated as a psychologist from the University of Cape Town in 1989 and has lived and worked in Victoria since that time, with the exception of his training in Switzerland. He began his Jungian Analysis practice in 2004, and, while still in the training programme, conducted Jungian Analysis with clients while under supervision.

In the past 15 years, prior to beginning his training as a Jungian Analyst, John managed a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme.

Professional affiliations/registration:

• A.G.A.P. – Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists (Zurich, Switzerland)

• I.A.A.P. - International Association for Analytical Psychology

• B.C.A.C.C. – British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors

John has specialised expertise in treating issues such as the following:

Clinical issues

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Childhood abuse/trauma

• Adult trauma

• Personality Disorders

• Addictions (substance and behavioural)

• Grief and Loss

It is common for people to enter into an analysis not because of a clinical disorder, but because they feel a lack of meaning, or a sense of purposelessness. This is often the case at critical junctures in their lives such as adolescence, young adulthood, entering into primary relationships, career changes, retirement and mid-life.
