Andrew Pritchard
BA Hons in History
Diploma in Gestalt Therapy
I have been a practising therapist since 1998 and I have had a private practice at the Whole Works since 2002.
I work with individuals on a wide range of issues such as anxiety and depression, relationship and self esteem difficulties as well as helping people recover from difficult experiences in their past.
As well as attending to the distress of my clients, I am interested in how we can simplify and enrich our everyday interactions and circumstances. Gestalt therapy can provide opportunities to bring greater awareness to ourselves and our relationships. By learning to combine sensitivity with directness we can becoming less constrained by the patterns and habits that we carry from the past. With that awareness we can go on to create more sustainable and satisfying ways of living and relating to others.
I also have an interest in helping clients tune into their inner resources. In adapting to the challenges of our early years environment, many of us have lost touch with our innate joy, dynamism, compassion, stability and peace. Exploring the ways in which we have become alienated from these qualities can help us reconnect with our capabilities and refresh our sense of purpose and satisfaction with life.
