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.

This Jungian life coaching certificate program was developed by Akke-Jeanne Klerk, co-founder of Jung Platform. With years of experience facilitating coaching programs in the Netherlands, Akke-Jeanne brings together her formal coaching training from the University of Applied Sciences, her psychodynamic approach, and the depth psychological perspective that is at the heart of Jung Platform.

The program also draws on the broader Jung Platform faculty, incorporating video material from some of the most respected Jungian teachers in the world. What you receive is not just one person's expertise, but the collective wisdom of a community that has been dedicated to depth psychology and personal transformation for over a decade

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.

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.

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 info@jungplatform.com. 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 conversation with Akke-Jeanne Klerk, co-founder of Jung Platform, to ensure the program is the right fit. Participants play an important role in shaping the quality of the group. So we want to make sure that people who sign up are reflective and enjoy working on themselves.

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.

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.

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.

the Jungian Life Coaching Certificate Program is accredited by the International Association of Coaches, Therapists, and Mentors (IACTM) and the Transpersonal Coaching Therapy Network (TCTN). Graduates are eligible to apply for professional coach accreditation upon completing the required coaching hours.

The program runs over 9 months and includes 12 intensive live training days (5 hours each). Between sessions, expect to spend a few hours per week on readings, peer practice, journaling, and coaching your practice clients. The program is designed to fit alongside existing work and life commitments.

No prior coaching experience is required. The program welcomes those who are new to coaching as well as experienced practitioners (including therapists, psychologists, and seasoned coaches) who want to deepen their work with a Jungian framework. Many of our students bring years of professional experience and find that this program transforms how they work with clients.

Known as “The Book of Changes,” the I Ching is a 3,000-year-old Chinese divination system. It reveals how the world constantly shifts, showing us how to live in harmony with its unfolding patterns. The I Ching was used by Carl Jung to explore synchronicity and the unconscious. It offers guidance through symbolic patterns known as hexagrams. It can help you attune to subtle inner and outer shifts.

Divination is not about predicting the future. It is about asking meaningful questions and receiving symbolic responses. These responses reveal something deeper about the present moment.

Divination tools like the Tarot, astrology, and the I Ching act as mirrors for the psyche. They help us bring unconscious material into conscious awareness.

Divination invites us to pause, reflect, and see the patterns shaping our lives with new eyes.

From a Jungian perspective, divination creates space for synchronicity by engaging with symbols and archetypes. Synchronicity is what Jung referred to as "meaningful coincidences." Through divination, we gain access to gentle guidance. Guidance that simultaneously feels profoundly universal and deeply personal.

Carl Jung saw great psychological value in symbolic systems such as the Tarot and astrology. Jung used the I Ching often. The insights it led him to greatly influenced his theory of synchronicity.

Jung believed symbolic systems speak the language of the unconscious. Such systems' archetypal images and numinous patterns reflect universal human experiences. Their dynamic tensions mirror the opposing forces within the human psyche.

By working with symbols, we gain access to hidden parts of ourselves that are otherwise overlooked. These ancient tools are not prescriptive but reflective. They offer a way to explore our inner dynamics. They help us discover meaning in the unfolding of our lives.

For Jung, engaging with symbolic systems was a way to deepen the individuation process and become more whole.

Divination is more than a tool for answering life’s questions. It is a practice of inner listening. Whether through the Tarot, astrology, or the I Ching, divinatory systems help us engage the symbolic language of the unconscious. They help us recognize meaningful patterns, receive guidance, and align with our deeper truth.

From a Jungian perspective, the study of divination supports the process of individuation. Divination reveals what lies beneath the surface of awareness. It helps us work with archetypes and track synchronicities, granting us insight into the invisible forces that shape our choices.
