More about Gestalt Psychotherapy

Gestalt Therapy focuses on the individual's experience in the present moment. The therapist office is transformed into a laboratory where the client(s) experience with different ways of approaching life challenges and human relationships. Experiences created during the session help the client(s) to become aware of their habitual patterns, and unconscious beliefs about themselves, and the World. The new awareness leads to greater choice and opens up new possibilities for the client. Gestalt therapy emphasises the embodiment of our experiences, and works with the body-mind connection. Gestalt emphasizes personal responsibility, which is understood as response-ability, i.e. ability to respond to the situation in here and now without resorting to old, unaware and non-working coping mechanisms.
