Johann Mynhardt

Applied Jungian Practitioner

Johann Mynhardt is an Applied Jungian Practitioner at The Centre for Applied Jungian Studies. He first encountered Jung’s ideas in his early twenties while pursuing interests in comparative religion, philosophy and related subjects. Many years later he enrolled as a student at the Centre and attended programmes such as The 12 steps to individuation, The Conscious Living Programme and Clinical Concepts which deepened his theoretical knowledge of Jung’s work and allowed him to experience the transformative power of Jungian psychology first-hand. Having worked in the film industry Johann’s combined passions for film-making and Jungian theory have found a fertile partnership in the Centre’s Jungian Film School. Johann continues to deepen his undestanding of the human condition through continued interest and study in psychology, shamanism and related subjects.

Byron Gaist

Applied Jungian Practitioner

Byron Gaist studied Psychology and Counselling Psychology at undergraduate and postgraduate level in England in the 1990s and has also completed trainings in person-centred psychotherapy and guided imagery work.  He has been a practicing counselling psychologist and psychotherapist for nearly three decades now. He has worked in the areas of gerontology, family violence, addictions and in general private practice with a diversity of clients. Currently he is the head of the Policy Department at the Cyprus National Addictions Authority, and continues to work with clients in private practice, both in person and online.

Byron has also been in Jungian analysis and continues his personal psychotherapeutic work until today.  He believes the journey of becoming conscious through self-knowledge, personal growth and individuation never ceases, and for the mental health professional it is essential. In 2022, he decided to further his personal development along Jungian lines, by enrolling on the Magnum Opus online programme at The Centre for Applied Jungian Studies, a four-part journey through the alchemical stages of personal transformation in Jungian psychology which he completed within a year, while also studying and completing the Jungian and Post-Jungian Clinical Concepts course with the CAJS. Enquire or book sessions with him email b.gaist@cytanet.com.cy
