Gestalt therapy is a psychotherapy that addresses the mind body as a fluid continuum and uses creativity to shift toward a more intuitive and present-centred life. In the Gestalt process, what is directly experienced and felt is more reliable than our explanations or interpretations of the ways things are. Drawing upon body gestures, metaphor, verbal statements and other expressive approaches, the Gestalt therapist develops experiments for you to explore the full range of your potential. As the process unfolds, Gestalt facilitates enhanced awareness of personal responsibility and choice, how to avoid problems, finish unfinished matters and experience life with greater spontaneity and flexibility.
