Gestalt psychotherapy is a relational, experiential form of therapy that focuses on what is happening in the present moment—in your body, emotions, thoughts, and relationships. Rather than analysing problems from a distance, Gestalt therapy supports awareness of lived experience and how we relate to ourselves and others in real time.

​

A central part of Gestalt psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship itself. The connection between therapist and client offers a safe, supportive space to explore patterns of communication, emotional responses, and ways of relating that may show up in everyday life—particularly within couples and family relationships.

​

Gestalt therapy also recognises that we do not exist in isolation. Our experiences are shaped by our social, cultural, relational, and environmental contexts. This makes it especially supportive for neurodivergent individuals and families, where differences in communication styles, sensory needs, emotional expression, or relational expectations may have been misunderstood or pathologised elsewhere.

​

Rather than focusing on “fixing” or changing who you are, Gestalt psychotherapy encourages self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal responsibility. By gently noticing your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and behaviours in the present moment, you can begin to understand what supports connection, safety, wellbeing, and what may be creating distress or disconnection.

​

This awareness creates the conditions for meaningful and lasting change. For couples and families, this often means developing clearer communication, deeper emotional understanding, and more authentic ways of relating to one another.

My own path into Gestalt psychotherapy was shaped by my personal healing journey. I found Gestalt principles deeply resonant, offering a compassionate, empowering framework for growth and self-understanding. These experiences now inform my work as a therapist, where I bring Gestalt psychotherapy into my practice to support individuals, couples, and families in finding greater clarity, connection, and healing, at a pace that feels respectful and supportive
