Gestalt

Gestalt comes from the German word meaning whole or complete. In Gestalt counseling this wholeness involves:

• An holistic approach embracing mind, body and spirit
• Recognising and reclaiming parts of the personality that have been denied or disowned.
• Addressing unresolved situations that are causing concern.
• The Gestalt approach has influenced and enriched many other therapeutic models of working with people.

What does Gestalt counselling session offer?

• A safe and confidential setting where you will be heard and able to discuss, explore, and understand your feelings and thoughts.
• A therapeutic relationship drawing on your joint humanity, experience and understanding. A Gestalt Counsellor relates to you with integrity and respect in a non-judgemental way.
• Support and constructive challenge which assists you to explore difficult feelings and thoughts and discover new perspectives
• Enhanced awareness helping you to recognise and accept more aspects of yourself and how you relate to other people and situations.
• Increased self-responsibility so that you understand more fully how you are the author of your life and how you can empower yourself to move forward.
• A creative approach enabling you to find your inner resources, discover new ways of being, make positive changes and enrich your life.
