Your Home
Why does your expensive, beautifully designed space still feel wrong, and what is your unconscious is trying to tell you about it? We need to feel aligned with the spaces we spend time in. They have to serve our conscious and unconscious needs.
The Problem
Design
Disappointment
Disappointment
Most people design homes for who they think they should be. The open-plan Instagram aesthetic. The minimalist dream. The 'perfect' space that somehow feels all wrong. Your unconscious is screaming and you don't know why.
Disappointment
Disappointment
Disappointment
You've invested in good design. You've followed the advice. But something fundamental is missing. Your space doesn't give you permission to be all of who you are. Instead of feeling relaxed, you feel stressed.
Understanding
Disappointment
Understanding
That discomfort isn't about the furniture or the paint colour. It's your unconscious telling you something important. This work allows you to move forward with informed design that puts you at ease with your surroundings. Spaces speak to us and we are always listening.
Case Study
A client couldn't explain what he wanted from his renovation. He felt a misalignment. There are many directions this work can take, in this case we looked at archetypes (explained below).
Quote
"I just know the design proposals feel... wrong. Too open. Too exposed."
Action
We talked about his life, his love of films, books, characters he relates to. Turned out his dominant archetype was the Trickster — the playful outsider, the observer, the one who operates from the margins.
Archetypes
Archetypes are universal characters and patterns that show up across all human stories, dreams, and experiences throughout history and across all cultures. Carl Jung believed these aren't just coincidences - they're built into our collective human psychology. He called this the "collective unconscious," a kind of shared mental inheritance we all carry.
Why this Matters
Jung believed that recognising these patterns helps us understand ourselves better. When you see the same story playing out in your life repeatedly, you might be acting out an archetype unconsciously. Becoming aware of this gives you more choice in how you respond.
Misalignment
So, there he was (the client): being shown open-plan, everything-on-display homes. Of course they felt wrong.
The Truth
The Trickster doesn't want to be seen all the time. They want options. Escape routes. Vantage points.
So, we designed for that!
With:
• Reading nooks tucked in shadows
• Comfortable chairs near doorways (always an exit)
• A spot under the stairs for games and plotting
• Places to retreat, observe, emerge when ready

"I didn't know homes could feel like permission and acceptance"
About this Work
The Psychologist
I'm Dr. Peter Sear, a Chartered Psychologist specialising in depth psychology. My background combines Jungian studies, empathic leadership research, and understanding how unconscious patterns shape our relationship with space. My thesis for my Jungian Masters Degree was entitled Wall Psyche, and focused on how spaces make us feel.
The Work
This work emerged from recognising that our homes often reflect not who we are, but who we think we should be. Through depth psychology, we can understand what your space is telling you — and design environments that give you permission to be fully yourself. The work can apply to anything from the interior design of a room or office to larger architectural projects.
My Online Class
I've created a Depth Psychology of Interior Design course and work with individuals who want their spaces to align with their authentic psychological needs. Please take a look by clicking the button. You may wish to take the class before booking a session with me or go straight to working together.
