Gestalt Psychotherapy (Adult) - Long and short term workServices Offered
I offer a safe, empathetic space where I can support you to make your own discoveries. Beginning with what is happening for you in the present, we can begin to explore what might be holding you back from thriving and living a rich, authentic life. Gestalt therapy is a holistic therapy working on many levels. It raises awareness of unhelpful patterns that might have been learnt earlier in life and provides the opportunity to find new ways of responding to situations and relationships.
About Approach
The benefit of using Gestalt therapy is that there is room for inventiveness and adaptability. There will be space in our sessions for creative imagination and experimentation, moving in and out of verbal and non-verbal exploration where appropriate. This can support you in bringing awareness to unconscious processes that you may initially have no words for.
My background is in the Arts, and Health and Wellbeing. Having worked both in the NHS and the third sector as a health professional, I moved into therapeutic arts facilitation. I draw on the practices of yoga, meditation, and spending time in wild places to help me stay connected to myself, and to experience happiness and peace.
