What is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt therapy is a holistic, present-centred approach that helps people become aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body experiences in the moment. It focuses on how we relate to ourselves and others, encouraging authentic contact, personal responsibility, and integration of mind, body, and emotion.
The goal of Gestalt therapy is to increase awareness — of one’s feelings, bodily sensations, thoughts, and behaviours — in the present moment. Through this awareness, people can recognise patterns, take ownership of their experiences, and make authentic, integrated choices that support growth and connection..
This therapy is especially helpful if you feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what you want or need in relationships.
Why do you offer a free 15 min consult?
Having a good rapport with your therapist is essential. It's a chance for you to ask questions about my training, certification and accreditation. I'll tell you a bit about how I work, and you can tell me a bit about what's going on for you. We can then decide if we are a good fit.
