Buzz Carter
Buzz trained as a Jungian psychologist after gaining a first-class Honours BSc. degree in Psychology from the University of London, and was subsequently inducted as a member of the Jungian Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) in London, where he presently serves as a Trustee and member of the governing Council. He is also a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) in Zurich; the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC); and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
Apart from private practice in London and Rome, he also teaches Jungian and psychodynamic theory in London. He has worked in the public health system, in the NHS as an adult psychoanalytic psychotherapist at Brent, London (CNWL NHS Trust), and at the Number 42 Psychotherapy and Wellbeing clinic in London Bridge.
As a Jungian and psychodynamic psychologist he works with internal conflicts and pressures exploring, as part of a therapeutic alliance in a safe setting, the deeper self including the symbolic world of dreams, daydreams and fantasies. This helps us understand what is happening in the unconscious parts of the psyche. The aim is to gradually integrate opposing parts of the personality, allowing old patterns to fall away and to form healthy new attitudes to internal and external relationships, and to reality.
Previously, Buzz was a senior executive in the worlds of entertainment and media, and has considerable experience of organisational structures and the pressures and demands of fast-paced work environments.
He also has an interest in comparative religion and in particular, the myths, symbols, motifs and rituals found in the mystical traditions of mainstream religious faiths.
