Gestalt Therapy

What is Gestalt Therapy?

Gestalt Therapy is an experiential and holistic form of psychotherapy that focuses on the present moment and the client’s immediate thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It emphasizes self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the integration of different aspects of the self.

How does Gestalt Therapy Work?

Gestalt Therapy works by exploring the client’s here and now experience, including their body sensations, emotions, and interactions with others. Therapists use techniques such as role-playing, empty-chair dialogue, and dream work to help clients gain insight into their patterns of behavior and unresolved issues. The goal is to increase awareness, promote self-acceptance, and facilitate personal growth and integration.

Gestalt Therapy promotes holistic growth and empowers individuals to live more fulfilling and authentic lives.
