Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy is a holistic and creative way of exploring different aspects of our current existence and potential. In Gestalt, we recognise and value all realms of human experience, working emotionally, cognitively, spiritually, and with embodied awareness, as we explore together how your current life situation, relationships, and sense of fulfilment are shaped and influenced by past experiences and patterns. Through expanding awareness of how we think, feel and act in the world, we can move towards fully inhabiting our choices, and begin to challenge fixed patterns and habits.
We all face times in our life when we need extra support. You may be suffering from depression, anxiety, or dealing with bereavement or relationship issues. Perhaps you are wanting to deal with the impact of past trauma, or simply feeling stuck and disillusioned with life. Gestalt offers a flexible approach which can take the form that best enables you to develop, incorporating levels of support and challenge appropriate to your point in the journey. This creative and experimental approach broadens our possibilities for how we relate to ourselves and others, enabling the exploration of new avenues for choice and change.
My relationship with my clients is very important and I aim to make every client feel safe, respected and valued, with a commitment to confidentiality and appreciation of your autonomy. I offer a compassionate and respectful therapeutic relationship, in which we work collaboratively together. I believe in the potential of each individual to heal and grow, and through my work I accompany you on your journey to develop and realise that potential. This isn’t just about resolving a problem; this is an exploratory process which can help you find a way of living which is aligned to your authentic self.
