from university teaching to jungian teaching and coaching

Akke-Jeanne Klerk is Jung Platform's co-founder and a Jungian coach who has been drawn to depth psychology since 1996. With over fifteen years of experience in education and coaching, she has guided students and clients toward living a life more genuinely connected to their own soul.

Before committing full-time to Jung Platform, she taught and coached at the University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam and at one of Holland's leading coaching institutes. That combination of academic rigor and practical coaching experience continues to shape how she teaches today, grounded and usable.

For those who want to understand Jungian psychology, Akke-Jeanne created the accessible online course Your Individuation, exploring the individuation process. Through concepts like the persona, the shadow, and the Self, you learn to recognize these dynamics in your own everyday experience and begin applying them to your relationships, your choices, and the ongoing work of becoming who you actually are.

As a Jungian coach, Akke-Jeanne has been coaching people in their personal and professional development for almost two decades. Today, she continues to see clients one-on-one for online coaching alongside her teaching. For coaching inquiries, she can be reached at: akkejeanne@jungplatform.com

Creator of the Jungian Life Coaching Certificate Program

Akke-Jeanne has been coaching people in their personal and professional development for almost two decades. 

In 2022, she designed and launched the Jungian Life Coaching Certificate Program, now one of Jung Platform's most established offerings. The program grew out of her belief that Jungian psychology is meant to be lived. Shadow work, dreams, and myth are tools for navigating an actual life, and in her teaching she consistently asks how each concept can be put into practice.

Her coaching and teaching style is tuned to the individual(s) in front of her. She helps people stay connected to their own unfolding process of becoming, what Jung called individuation.
