Gestalt is a highly positive and practical integrative therapeutic approach. Broadly, Gestalt practitioners encourages us to focus on immediate thoughts, feelings and behaviour and to better understand the way we relate to others. This increased awareness can help find a new perspective, see the bigger picture and start to effect changes.

​

Gestalt is a holistic process. It regards the individual as a totality of mind, body, emotions and spirit who experiences reality in a way unique to themselves.

​

Gestalt therapy focuses on self-awareness: on what is happening from one moment to the next and on the 'here and now'. Increased awareness and understanding of the present, of one’s immediate thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and how people relate to others, can bring about powerful change and new perspectives.

​

Gestalt therapeutic work, as part of our therapy and counselling services has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of issues such as anxiety, stress, addiction, tension and depression, whether as a long-term therapy or via a number of sessions. At times of personal difficulty, Gestalt offers a safe, supportive space to explore difficult feelings, to understand the underlying patterns in personal relationships and to begin making practical changes.
