Shirley Ma is a Zürich-trained analyst and offers Jungian Analysis in Hong Kong, Zurich and Toronto. Ma’s approach to therapy is guided by the following concepts:

• An essential harmony exists at birth between our self and the path we are going to take in the larger world. If we lose the connection, illness results. Our dreams help us discover a pattern that reveals this path.
• What is experienced as sacrifice at one point may emerge as movement to another plane of vision. Healing comes through love and compassion.
• Individuation is not perfection but wholeness, and this wholeness includes your wound. People enter analysis out of a need to understand their suffering and transcend it – or find a way to live with it.
• Healing takes place through the transcendent function, a mysterious process with a life of its own.
• We are together in our search for the numinous, within a variety of spiritual traditions.

Ma’s practice offers a unique synthesis of Eastern and Western therapies. Her understanding of Eastern philosophy, Religion, and Traditional Chinese Medicine together with a Western education (Diploma in Analytical Psychology, C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich) and training informs her work.
