Gestalt therapy is a humanistic approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes self-awareness, personal responsibility, and the present moment to help individuals resolve “unfinished business” and achieve personal growth.
It focuses on experiencing the “here and now” to understand one’s whole self (mind, body, emotions) in relation to the environment and others.
Key concepts include the importance of the therapist-client relationship and paying attention to how emotions manifest physically

Highlights
My background
As a migrant myself, I am sensitive to all issues of losses, difference, adaptation and how to create a new life.
Je peux egalement travailler en Francais, qui est ma langue maternelle.
Gestalt Psychotherapy
I use Gestalt psychotherapy, a creative therapy using talk as well as materials when words are not enough or difficult to say. Body and mind are closely linked. I explore with my clients how they are in the present moment and how they could get to feel better. Hope matters to me in every encounter.
Single session therapy
Apart from short therapy and open ended therapy, I also offer a once off session to people who are not prepared to enter into traditional open-ended therapy. We prepare for the session beforehand and spend a limited amount of time exploring issues. People can then take their own time absorbing the experience.

How It Works
Awareness
The therapist helps the client develop increased self-awareness by focusing non-judgmentally on what is happening in the present moment.
Experiential Learning
Through various techniques, clients actively engage with their feelings and behaviors to gain deeper insight.
Therapist-Client Relationship
The relationship itself is a powerful tool, built on empathy, unconditional acceptance, and mutual exploration.
Core Principles
Holism
Individuals are viewed as complete entities, a “whole” comprising mind, body, and emotions, rather than fragmented parts.
The “Here and Now”
The focus is on current experiences, feelings, and actions in the present moment, rather than dwelling on past events.
Self-Awareness
Becoming fully aware of one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is key to self-regulation, growth, and taking personal responsibility.
Personal Responsibility
Clients are encouraged to accept responsibility for their actions, thoughts, and feelings, empowering them to take control of their lives.
The “Unfinished Business”
Problems can stem from unresolved emotions or past experiences that are not fully processed. Addressing this “unfinished business” allows for emotional release and integration
