Gestalt Psychotherapy

Gestalt psychotherapy is a holistic and flexible approach, that acknowledges the unity of mind, body, emotions and spirit, allowing all aspects of an individual to be included and valued.

Central to this therapeutic approach is the recognition that we are all in essence complete and whole individuals with our own unique relationship to the world.

Past events often leave deep wounds that limit the full expression of our personality.

While acknowledging these past events and unresolved issues, gestalt therapy attempts to work in the here and now, with a focus on gaining awareness of your inner state, your current needs and your present life situation, exploring how you relate to the world and your potential for growth and change.

Accepting things as they are is one of the key concepts in gestalt therapy and the basis of any change. Without accepting 'all of you', even the parts of you that you dislike and want to change, you are creating a resistance to the full expression of yourself and the fulfilment of your needs.

The process of therapy is about developing awareness of your blocks and resistances and opening up choices for yourself.
