Konrad van Staden is a Clinical Psychologist and Jungian Analyst. Konrad provides individual Jungian Analysis, Psychotherapy, High-Performance Coaching, and Wilderness Processes to groups and individuals.

Jungian Analysis: Konrad is a Candidate Jungian Analyst at the C.G.Jung Centre accredited by the South African Association of Jungian Analysts (SAAJA) and The International Association of Jungian Analysts(IAJA). At the heart of Jungian Analysis is the creation of meaning and purpose through an experience and understanding between conscious and unconscious dynamics . The process focusses on making conscious the unconscious resources, developing contact with the rich inner world. The result is often deeper, long-lasting changes and a deeper connection to the world around us, reflecting the development towards wholeness of the psyche.

Individual Psychotherapy: The psychotherapeutic process is for adults and adolescents to deal with clinical issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar mood, and obsessive compulsive behaviour. In psychotherapy Konrad also focusses on interpersonal conflicts, internal conflicts, and how the personality struggles to deal with a ‘stuck’ feeling. Individual psychotherapy helps the person to deal with unconscious dynamics  to allow greater adaptability, relationship health and  psychological playfulness.

Supervision to Psychologists, Psychiatrists and Coaches: Konrad provides supervision to psychologists and psychiatrists to provide a deeper understanding and working dynamic with their clients and patients. He also provides a supervision to coaches needing to understand and work with clients at a deeper level, while maintaining the line between therapy and coaching.

High-Performance Coaching: Konrad has worked with high-performance individuals, ranging from CEO’s and MD’s from various multi-national companies, to international level sport’s players. He often works with prospective high-performers in sports to develop the necessary mental, emotional and interpersonal skills to face the rigours of international sports. He believes in the total transformation of the high-performer to develop a whole and dynamic human approach to their work, art and sport. From his experience and professional capacities he has a unique position and understanding to develop high-performers at multiple levels, therefore his way of working has produced optimal development and growth.

Wilderness Experiences: Konrad has an interest in the connection we have to Wilderness, the connection to the wilderness inside and the wilderness outside of us. He believes, like one of his mentors Ian McCallum says: “ There is no human nature or animal nature, there is only nature”. We are all one, and to connect to nature is to connect to our own inner wildness. To this there is only one way, and that is to get out there in touch with the very parts of our world we have lost touch with. To connect with wildness we have to feel that connection inside and outside. Konrad runs individual and group Wilderness Experiences and Retreats, facilitating them to explore and develop this inner connection to Nature, and the nature within.
