I promote self-reliance, self-knowledge, relational awareness, individuation and growth within the support of structured interventions called experiments – therapeutic activities set up by the therapist to increase spontaneity, creativity, response-ability, and awareness of the here-and-now moment. Clients are provided with creative opportunities to try out new behaviors to see what happens, to develop sensory awareness/body awareness and to re-integrate disowned parts of the self; aspects of the personality that have formerly been neglected, forgotten or repressed.
The goal ofGestalt therapy is to help you increase your capacity to live life more fullyby seeing how your strengths and weaknesses relate to the clear paths andobstacles within your life. Through greater clarity you will enjoy more choiceto live the life you want or accept the life you have. Choice provides you theopportunity to reduce pain and increase joy.
The cornerstoneapproaches of Gestalt therapy are focused on the present moment and therelationship you have with me, your therapist.
In the Now
Gestalt Therapyis focused on exploring sensations, thoughts, behaviours, emotions and beliefsas they arise within the therapy session. Memories of the past and concerns ofthe future are brought into the present moment so that you can escape thefamiliar traps of your mind and experience your own truth more directly.
You and Me
My involvementin your therapy session makes me a co-creator of the experience. I am not theteacher or expert with the magic bullet solution, but rather I provide a safeand non-judgmental environment in which you come to your own understandings anddecisions. I include my creative, playful and intuitive senses to help you findthe support you need to move beyond what might be long-held fixed patterns. Youare in the driver’s seat, exploring only what and when you are ready.
