Gestalt Therapy

The German word ‘gestalt’ means shape or form, referencing the essence of something. Gestalt therapists use experiential techniques to enhance freedom, awareness, and self-direction for the clients. This focuses more on the process than on the content as to what is discussed. Even though it is a person-centered therapy, it emphasises more on the therapist’s use of understanding, empathy and unconditional acceptance of who is sitting in front of them.
