The Power of Listening in Speech Therapy with Margaret Jacobs

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. Connect with Margaret Jacobs:Website: canberravoiceandpsyche.com.auEmail: [email protected]: 0409 784 408Margaret has a private practice in Canberra and sees people both face to face and online.Margaret’s Article:Psychogenic Voice Disorder: A View Through the Lens of SelfJacobs, M., & van Biene, L.
