Psychotherapy
Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt therapy is a humanistic psychotherapy that focuses on what is experienced in the here and now, in the relationship to oneself, to others, and to the world. It considers the person in their entirety: physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual.

 

Originating from the work of Frederick Perls, Laura Perls, Paul Goodman, Ralph Hefferline and Isadore From in the 1950s, Gestalt therapy is part of a relational, existential and phenomenological current.

 

Rather than seeking to explain by "why", Gestalt therapy invites us to explore the "how" in order to promote fairer and more vibrant adjustments and to bring about change.

 

Gestalt therapy posits that difficulties arise when contact with oneself or with others becomes frozen or broken. The therapeutic work then aims to restore authentic and fluid contact.

 

By mobilizing a variety of tools: verbal, bodily and creative, and by supporting the autonomy, responsibility and capacity for choice of each individual, Gestalt supports a process of personal growth and opens a space where new ways of being in the world can emerge.
