Amanda Francis

Amanda Francis is a Jungian Analyst and HCPC Registered Art Psychotherapist in private practice in southeast London, bringing together over twenty years of clinical experience with a distinctive integration of visual art, depth psychology, and community-based therapeutic work. She trained as an Analytical Psychologist with the Association of Jungian Analysts (AJA) and holds a BA in Fine Art and Critical Studies from Central Saint Martins and an MA in Art Psychotherapy, a combination of credentials that grounds her practice in both the imaginal and the clinical.

Before entering private practice, Francis worked extensively across community and educational settings in south London with refugees and asylum seekers, children and young people, and adults in varied circumstances. She read Jung as an adolescent and has worked with dreams visually and through journalling from childhood, a lifelong engagement with the image that informs her therapeutic method. She facilitates an art-making group for Jung Club London, extending her interest in collective creative processes beyond the consulting room.

Francis is registered with the International Association of Analytical Psychologists (IAAP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP, registration 55339). She works with adults at a frequency of one to three sessions weekly, with fees starting from eighty pounds and concessionary rates available. Her approach draws on Jungian, psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, relational, transpersonal, and art therapy modalities, and she addresses a wide range of concerns including abuse, addictions, anxiety, bereavement, depression, eating disorders, trauma, PTSD, identity, and relationship difficulties.
