Frequently Asked Questions
The Jungian Coaching Certificate offered by the Jung Platform is a comprehensive and practical program designed to equip participants with in-depth coaching skills informed by Jungian psychology. Unlike conventional coach training programs, the Jungian coaching approach goes into the deeper layers of the psyche, emphasizing the Individuation process, shadow work, and other foundational Jungian concepts.
Overview of the Jungian Coaching Certification Program
The Jungian coaching certification program at the Jung Platform stands out as a unique blend of theory and practice. For those looking to become a certified Jungian life coach, this program provides essential training in coaching skills, drawing from both life coaching practices and Jungian analysis. The course is structured to cater to individuals who may already be practicing as a life coach or those new to coaching but with a strong interest in personal development and good conversational skills.
The program is divided into five modules, plus an introductory and closing event, making up 12 intensive days of training. Each module targets different aspects of Jungian coaching. The first module introduces coaching fundamentals and integrates a Jungian perspective, while subsequent modules cover shadow work, dreamwork, mythology and storytelling, and transformation process. This comprehensive coach training program ensures participants develop the skills needed to guide others through personal growth and psychological exploration.
What are the key elements of the program?
- Integration of Jungian psychology and coaching skills
Participants learn to apply Jungian concepts such as the shadow, archetypes, and the Self within their coaching practice. Unlike more conventional life coach training, where goals and progress are often defined by measurable achievements, Jungian coaching is more fluid. The process respects the psyche’s natural movement, adapting coaching sessions to align with the client’s deeper needs and unconscious guidance.
This integration provides a richer, more transformative coaching experience, where both the coach and the client engage in meaningful exploration. A Jungian coach does not simply focus on overcoming obstacles; they also ask deeper questions such as, What mythology or archetype is influencing this client’s situation? and What is the deeper meaning behind their current challenges? This approach allows the coach to help clients not only achieve goals but also experience profound personal transformation.
- Practical training emphasis
The Jung Platform’s Jungian life coaching certification is designed to be more practical than theoretical, with a focus on real-world application. Throughout the program, participants engage in live coaching practice, working with peers to develop their coaching skills. Each module builds on the previous one, ensuring that by the end of the training, participants are confident in setting up and facilitating their own coaching sessions.
One of the unique aspects of this certification program is the focus on feedback and reflection. Participants are observed by facilitators and peers during coaching exercises and receive constructive feedback. This continuous loop of practice, feedback, and reflection helps solidify the skills necessary for effective coaching practice. To complete the certification, participants must facilitate coaching sessions with test clients and compile a reflective report based on their experience.
- Shadow work and individuation
A significant component of the program involves shadow work, an essential aspect of Jungian psychology. Shadow work involves recognizing and integrating the parts of oneself that are often hidden or denied. For aspiring Jungian life coaches, understanding and applying this concept is crucial. The program provides participants with tools and exercises to conduct shadow work on themselves and later guide clients through similar processes.
The Individuation process, another key focus, represents the journey of psychological growth and self-realization. Unlike conventional life coaching, where a client may seek to develop specific skills or achieve targeted goals, the Jungian coach helps the client understand and follow their unique path of individuation. This might involve exploring dreams, engaging with archetypes, or even revisiting personal mythology to find meaning.
Who can participate?
The Jungian coaching program is suitable for both experienced life coaches and those new to the field. Participants come from diverse backgrounds, including therapy, social work, and various coaching practices. For those without prior coaching experience, strong conversational skills and a genuine interest in personal growth are essential. The Jung Platform welcomes individuals who are reflective and committed to doing inner work, which is integral to developing as a Jungian coach.
It’s important to note that while familiarity with Jungian theory is helpful, it is not a prerequisite. The program is structured to introduce basic Jungian concepts and demonstrate how they can be applied practically in coaching sessions. This program is focused on you building confidence in your coaching skills, and not about an in-depth academic understanding of Jungian analysis or theoretical exploration.
What is the application and certification process like?
The application process for the Jungian coaching certification involves submitting a resume and an application letter explaining why the candidate is a good fit for the program. You can send your application email to [email protected], or apply online, using the application button on this webpage. The selection committee looks for candidates who possess good conversational skills, have a genuine interest in Jungian psychology, and are willing to engage in deep reflection.
Once accepted, participants have an intake session with course creator, Akke-Jeanne Klerk, co-founder of the Jung Platform. In it, she would like to make sure that you are the right fit for the program. We’ve seen that participants are equally important in shaping the quality of the program. So we want to make sure that people who sign up are reflective and enjoy working on themselves.
The live sessions and modules
The live sessions are facilitated by experienced instructors: Lisa Rambaldo and Elise Allan. The program’s emphasis on live participation ensures that each member of the group benefits from real-time interactions, exercises, and peer feedback.
To earn the Jungian life coach certificate, participants must complete coaching sessions with two test clients, each comprising at least five sessions. These sessions form part of the final evaluation, along with a report detailing the participant’s coaching journey, reflections on challenges faced, and insights gained. This practical approach ensures that graduates of the program not only understand coaching theory but also have tangible experience applying it.
What sets Jungian coaching apart?
Jungian coaching differs from standard coaching in several ways. Conventional life coaching often focuses on heroic narratives, overcoming obstacles, setting SMART goals, and achieving tangible outcomes. Jungian coaching, however, allows for a deeper exploration of the psyche. Coaches trained in this method are equipped to guide clients through symbolic and non-linear journeys, supporting them in uncovering the underlying patterns in their lives.
This approach can be especially valuable for those who find traditional coaching methods too rigid or goal-oriented. By working with dreams, myths, and archetypes, the Jungian coach helps clients navigate their inner landscapes and align their conscious actions with their unconscious drives. This method respects the natural flow of psychological growth, recognizing that true transformation may involve changes in direction as dictated by the deeper Self.
Building coaching practice and skills
For those pursuing certification through the International Association for Coaches, Mentors, and Therapists (IACTM), the program provides guidance on logging 40 coaching hours beyond the 10 mandatory sessions for the final report. Building a robust coaching practice involves not just practical training but also engaging with continuous self-reflection, a skill that the program fosters through its structure.
Participants in the Jungian coaching program develop not just coaching skills but also an understanding of how to create a coaching practice that reflects their individual strengths and interests. The program includes coaching practice with peers, feedback from facilitators, and continuous opportunities to refine one’s approach.
In summary, the Jungian coaching certification offered by the Jung Platform is a transformative journey that combines coaching training with the profound insights of Jungian psychology. Whether you’re an experienced life coach looking to deepen your practice or a newcomer interested in becoming a Jungian coach, this program provides the skills, knowledge, and reflective practices needed to facilitate meaningful change in others.
