Services

To provide a warm and accepting environment, empowering you to grow and enjoy a better quality of life.

All of us are presented with obstacles that challenge us during our lives.

Counselling has a strong history that can support individuals to move toward positive changes in their lives. This service seeks to provide a warm and accepting environment in which people can have opportunities for growth, and an enhanced quality of life. My purpose at this practice is to provide the reduction and/or management of obstacles to happiness, and equally, the promotion of happiness.

Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt Therapy emphasizes personal responsibility;

  • focused on experiences in the present moment.
  • the environment.
  • the context of an individual’s life.

Gestalt can highlight the self-regulating adjustments people make because of  their overall environment. Gestalt was designed originally by Fritz Perls and his wife Laura to enhance people’s awareness of their ‘unfinished business’ (deep-seated emotional issues). The Perls’ jointly emphasized the relevance of conscious awareness within the ‘present moment-ness’ of everyday life.

Aspects of Gestalt Therapy techniques which can lead individuals to experience improved happiness include the following:

  • The localising of emotions
  • Adopting postural adjustments
  • The use of present tense language
  • Role play dialogue exercises
  • The empty chair technique
  • Assertiveness training

This form of therapy can highlight strong motivators for positive change, and enhanced habits to take place over time.

Gestalt methods have been combined with meditation practices into a unified program of human development called ‘Gestalt Practice’.
