About The Gestalt Centre > The Gestalt Approach > Qualities that Differentiate The Gestalt Centre
 

Gestalt is a German word, which is difficult to translate, but in concept, means whole or complete. We regard the individual as a totality of mind, body, emotions and spirit who experiences reality in a way unique to themselves. In therapy and counselling we seek to resolve internal conflict thus releasing energy to flow into richer contact with self and others. Quality and richness of life are enhanced as the person lives authentically, embracing the full range of human experience.

In gestalt therapy we are interested in:

  • The organism-as-a-whole, or unity of mind, body, emotions and spirit
  • The nature of the relationship between a person and his or her world
  • Working with internal conflict and resolving unfinished business
  • Recognising the unique reality which each person experiences

Most people experience points in their lives when they need the intervention of a trained person to help them understand themselves and take the first steps in improving their quality of life. The experience of discomfort, of all not being well, may be felt as a sudden crisis or as a chronic on-going level of depression. The shifts and changes required may be slight or far-reaching. And most of us can, with insight and support, effect change, which opens up new directions and a renewed sense of Life as exciting and magical.
