Individuation is an inner drive, deep within the recesses of our soul, giving us a powerful message that we need to develop and differentiate in order to tap into our utmost potential.
Depth-oriented coaching offers a unique approach that goes beyond surface-level goals to explore the unconscious patterns, archetypes, and inner narratives that shape your life. Rooted in the psychology of Carl Jung, this method helps you reconnect with your authentic self, navigate inner conflicts, and uncover the deeper meaning behind your challenges and aspirations. It’s not just about performance or productivity (although you're likely to see changes in these aspects of your life, as well) — it’s about transformation. Through inner inquiry, symbolic lens, dreams, shadow work, and intuitive soul exploration, Jungian coaching supports lasting change by integrating all parts of who you are.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
What might become possible if you trusted the deeper current beneath your striving?

Psychedelic Preparation & Integration
With nearly a decade of experience of researching non-ordinary states, and supporting individuals on their inner journeys, I am for the first time offering tailored support for both psychedelic preparation and integration.Your journey doesn't begin once you enter a ceremonial space. It begins with the decision to make the change, to heal, and to call in your most authentic Self.These sessions are designed to help you to make most out of your preparation for journeys, and receive support in integrating the messages and guidance that unfolds after the experience.
Creative Coaching
Creative Coaching with a Depth Perspective is a journey into the deeper layers of your imagination and purpose. Whether it’s launching a passion project, exploring a new venture, or finally finishing the book or a website you’ve been putting off - I would love to help you to make your dreams a reality. By bringing awareness to what inspires you and what holds you back - we’ll transform resistance into momentum, and hesitation into authentic action. This is about more than completing projects; it’s about aligning your outer work with your inner world so your ideas grow with meaning, vitality, and soul.
About Me
I’m Johanna Hilla Sopanen, a scholar, educator, and facilitator specializing in psychedelics and Depth Psychology. My work weaves together symbolic thinking, meaning-making, and altered states of consciousness in both online and in-person settings that integrate creativity, ritual, and safe, ethical psychedelic practice. My academic background includes a Master’s dissertation on Carl Jung’s Red Book, completed during an internship at Fundación Vocación Humana, a Jungian center in Buenos Aires.My approach is grounded in depth psychology, ecopsychology, archetypal psychology, Buddhism, and other modalities that support deep inner exploration, healing, and integration. In addition to facilitation, I offer mentorship and coaching for individuals and professionals who are navigating transformative experiences, seeking to deepen their inner work, or cultivating ethical psychedelic practices. I’m passionate about supporting others in their personal growth, creative unfolding, and spiritual insight through a psychologically informed and heart-centered lens.I’ve contributed to the field with a chapter in Philosophy & Psychedelics, Bloomsbury, 2022), served as a lead coordinator of 12-month Psychedelic Education and Training program Vital (2022-2025), and been a board member of Dreamshadow Breathwork, Inc. I've also been active contributer at the Exeter University Transdisciplinary Psychedelic Colloquium. Currently, alongside my coaching practice, I work as an assistant psychologist for MORE-KARE trial exploring the benefits of ketamine for alcohol addiction a tutor for 24-month ADEPT Psychedelic Therapy Training.
