Program Overview

What if your wardrobe could reveal the hidden dynamics of your psyche?

In this transformational session, award-winning image consultant and psychological type practitioner Imogen Lamport AICI CIP explores the intersection of John Beebe’s eight-function archetypal model and the 16 Style Types framework she co-created with Jill Chivers and Jane Kise. You’ll discover how each cognitive function expresses itself through clothing—from the Hero’s signature style to the Trickster’s wardrobe chaos and the Anima’s aspirational fashion longing.

Through vivid examples, psychological insight, and real-world application, Imogen will guide you to see how style is more than a surface concern, it’s a rich, visual language of personality. Whether you're a practitioner, coach, or simply curious about how type lives in the body, this session offers a new lens to understand identity, congruence, and self-expression.

Come away with tools to interpret style through type, support clients in navigating their style blocks, and embrace personal style as a pathway to deeper psychological integration.

Program Takeaways

1. Deepen your understanding of personality by exploring how Beebe’s archetypal personas are visually and behaviourally expressed through personal style. Participants will discover how cognitive functions manifest not only in thought and communication but also in clothing choices, revealing unconscious patterns, defences, and aspirational identities.

2. Learn how to use the 8-function model to help yourself and clients recognise shadow dynamics that sabotage authentic style expression—and reframe them as strengths. Understand how personas like the Trickster or Critical Parent show up in dressing habits, allowing greater self-compassion, confidence, and empowered self-presentation.

3. Gain tools to interpret style dynamics in personal and professional relationships, using type-informed insights to better support others’ self-expression and identity shifts. By linking type to visual identity, participants can support clients, colleagues, and loved ones in navigating life transitions with empathy, clarity, and respect for individuality.
