In today’s episode, we explore the intersection of mental health and speech therapy with Margaret Jacobs, a Speech Pathologist and Jungian Analyst.
Margaret began her career as a Speech Pathologist 28 years ago and worked for many years as a Senior Speech Pathologist in Canberra in acute care of both adult and paediatric patients. Clinically her interest was sparked in working with patients with voice disorders and she helped establish a multi-disciplinary voice disorders clinic and concurrently ran a small private practice specialising in this area. She completed a research Masters degree looking at the singing voice. Fifteen years ago she took a slight detour completing a Masters in Psychotherapy followed by a long psychoanalytic training in Jungian Analysis. She now works mostly as a Jungian Analyst but continues to see some voice patients and provides supervision to Speech Pathologists interested in voice and/or mental health.
