Gestalt Therapy

How will we work together?

My background in Gestalt means I work with the ‘here and now’ exploring how past experiences affect your present relationship with yourself and others, helping you to develop more awareness of how you are.

Through building trust and a secure connection together we will explore the challenges which have brought you here, looking at your unique experiences and identity and whatever feels ‘stuck’ in your life. I will listen and support you in moments of vulnerability, and challenge you when a different perspective might be helpful.

Through this process, you will hopefully gain a sense of calm and groundedness, as well as an ability to make more empowered decisions in your everyday life.

The process

Here are the main themes we will explore together:

Theme: your emotions 😌

  • We’ll assess your ability to embrace intense emotions, your connection to your body, and your presence within it, delving into any potential barriers.
  • Through practical exercises, assignments and conversations, we will explore your reactions to feelings such as anxiety or sadness.

Theme 2 : your environment 👪

  • We will explore your family dynamics growing up: What was your role within the family? What importance was given to appearance and body image in your family? Could you express opinions and emotions then? Were you listened to?

Theme 3 : your inner monologue 🧠

  • Understanding this critical voice inside your head that makes it impossible for you to be fully happy.
  • How do you talk to yourself? What words do you use? Why do you speak to yourself this way? Do you use « I » or « you » when talking to yourself? 
  • My goal is to give you the tools to change your inner monologue and to set boundaries with it.

Theme 4 : self-esteem 💪

  • Understanding what shame and self-esteem mean to you.
  • Do you feel genuine in your relationships? Can you show who you really are?
  • Can you regulate shame? Do you feel confortable being seen and valued? 
  • Does your self-esteem fluctuate?

Theme 5 : love & attachement ❤️

  • We all deserve a special and rare relationship. Accessing that kind of love requires you to develop a next-level relationship with yourself. Getting your there will be on of our goals during our sessions.
  • We will discuss your relationship with others, your friendships, and your romantic relationships. What are your attachement pattern? How do you behave in your romantic relationships and/or when pursuing a relationship? 
  • Do you think love is only accessible if you have a certain appearance? How much have you internalized the current beauty standards? 
  • How much access did you have to love as a child? Was love conditional? What is your attachment style?
