Colin offers counselling by way of Gestalt Therapy, but what is Gestalt Therapy?
Gestalt therapy is a humanistic approach to psychology that emphasises personal responsibility and focuses on the present moment and the context of a person's experiences. Developed by Fritz Perls, Laura Perls, and Paul Goodman in the mid-20th century, it encourages individuals to become aware of their feelings, thoughts, and actions, promoting self-discovery and empowerment.
Key concepts of Gestalt therapy include:
1. **Awareness**: Clients are encouraged to be aware of their immediate thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which helps them understand how they interact with their environment.
2. **Here and Now**: The focus is on the present moment rather than past experiences or future anxieties, helping individuals to experience their emotions and thoughts fully.
3. **Holism**: The therapy views individuals as whole beings, integrating the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social aspects of their lives.
4. **Contact and Withdrawal**: It explores how individuals form connections with others and how they may withdraw in different situations, which can reveal patterns of behavior.
5. **Role of the Therapist**: The therapist acts as a facilitator, helping clients explore their feelings and experiences without judgment.
Gestalt therapy is often used to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship problems, and it can be practiced in individual or group settings.
