Diana Baynes Jansen

In My End is My Beginning Diana Baynes Jansen

"This is an interesting and skillfully-written autobiography. Diana writes of her full and eventful life in language that is both simple and engaging. One may follow her self-discovery through the account, but one suspects that she is unaware that she is truly a remarkable woman. Her autobiography will be a lasting treasure for her family and friends."

Diana Baynes Jansen has lived a long and varied life. She has a big family with three daughters by her first husband, David Crockford, and four stepsons from her second marriage to Christopher Jansen. There are fifteen grandchildren from their combined families. She has been widowed twice and now lives alone in the home in Northumberland where she has spent the last 50 years of her life.

Diana works as a Jungian orientated psychotherapist and sandplay therapist. She is the author of an acclaimed biography of her father, H. G. Baynes, (Jung's Apprentice), who was a close friend and colleague of C. G. Jung.

She began her working life as a nurse and later studied at the Guildhall School of Music to become a professional singer. After her marriage to Christopher she went to London to train as a psychotherapist. She is still working part time and also has time to write and to enjoy her garden.
