GESTALT PSYCHOTHERAPY

 
 

Whole-Being Approach

What is Gestalt Psychotherapy?

Gestalt Psychotherapy is a holistic and existential/experiential form of Psychotherapy that focuses on your experience in the present moment, allowing for awareness of self, others, and the way you interact with your environment.

It’s an embodied, co-regulating, and relational therapy that is an integrated and effective approach to working with trauma, relationships, and other presentations.

Gestalt is a non-pathologizing and humanistic modality that pays regard to a person in their wider field. It utilizes the body in the present moment to process any unfinished traumas, emotions, and narratives that may be hindering your life.

Gestalt is also a phenomenological therapy that supports the experience of differentiation within the body and the edges of relating, as well as supporting current neurobiological research.

How can Gestalt Psychotherapy support you?

Gestalt Psychotherapy is unique to you and relationally-centred. It’s an incredibly powerful way of accessing the present moment and how patterns play out in the moment on a micro and macro level.

By accessing these awarenesses of the present moment, you’re able to identify how these patterns rupture relationships or life situations so you can make necessary changes.

Gestalt supports you to come into contact with your authenticity and presence whilst also teaching you to regulate your nervous system individually and through relationships.

It also supports you to become clear on what’s needed in your life to feel a sense of freedom, vitality, and spaciousness and also encourages connected relationships with life and others.

The relational and embodied foundations of Gestalt underpin the therapy sessions to explore and enquire in a safe and well-held space.

How many sessions will you need?

This is individual for everyone and will often be contracted at the beginning of the sessions together.

It will depend on your presentation and support or lack thereof in your outside world, what resources are available, and financial circumstances.

Trauma presentations usually need more time and space, and the ongoing relationship for longlasting and sustainable changes.
