Gestalt Therapy Glasgow.

Gestalt Therapy was developed in the 40s and 50s with a focus on personal responsibility. It analyses how an individual experiences the world in the present moment and encourages them to look at the big picture, considering the self in decision making. Rather than facilitate the healing process, Gestalt Therapy stresses the importance of presence.

Unlike other forms of psychotherapy, Gestalt Therapy is considered to be experimental. How the therapist engages with their patient and how they get them to focus on the present moment, is entirely at the discretion of the professional. Techniques often associated with Gestalt Therapy include the therapist asking the patient to imagine the presence of a parent or a manager in the room. Meditation techniques are also associated with Gestalt. The intended results of Gestalt Therapy are to engage the patient with selfhood and the concept of choice.

Understanding how much impact you have in the world can be daunting. It is difficult to come to terms with the choices you have in the present moment because it can put pressure on your present situation. Here at MAPP Psychology, we acknowledge the challenges you may face, and we want to work closely with you to help you make the best situations possible. We have prioritised creating a safe and friendly environment where you will be welcomed. Whether you are new to therapy or have existing experience with psychological counselling, MAPP Psychology is here to make the therapeutic journey rewarding and enjoyable.

Undertaking Gestalt Therapy will help provide clarity when making present decisions.
