Our style of working incorporates several models from the field of Humanistic therapy but our core approach is Gestalt.

We usually see clients once a week, preferably arranging a regular day and time (although we will be flexible about this if clients work or other commitments make a regular appointment impractical).

As Gestaltists some of our key concepts and assumptions are:

* A Holistic approach: everything is relevant.

* Focusing on the "here and now" of present experience, rather than the "there and then" of the past.

* That increased self-awareness (not the same as "self knowledge") automatically increases the range of choices available to us.

* That human beings have an innate tendency to work towards their own health and growth, and to become the best that is possible in their particular circumstances.

* That our function is to facilitate our clients' own healing processes.
