GESTALT THERAPY

 
Gestalt Therapy is directive and concentrates on the client's thought process and feelings. The main objective of this approach is for the individual's to become more aware of themselves taking into account their mind, body and spirit. The purpose of this is to improve the person's personal experiences and therefore creating a better quality of life.

A gestalt professional constantly promotes the client's awareness of themselves and uses experiments that are often invented by the counsellor and client. These experiments can be anything from creating patterns with objects and writing to role-playing. Promoting awareness is the main objective of Gestalt Counselling but other areas such as improving the ability to support ones emotional feelings are also important.
