Gestalt therapy offers a dynamic and engaging way for young individuals to explore themselves, their relationships, and the world around them, empowering them to develop a stronger sense of self and better cope with the challenges of growing up.
Features and benefits of my work:
1. Holistic Approach
My approach focuses on the holistic nature of an individual, considering their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and experiences in the present moment. This can be particularly effective for young people who might be struggling to understand or express themselves.
2. Self-Awareness
I support self-awareness and self-exploration, helping young individuals to understand their emotions, patterns of behaviour, and how they relate to others. This self-awareness is crucial in navigating the complexities of adolescence and young adulthood.
3. Emotional Regulation
Our work equips young people with tools to manage and express their emotions. This can be immensely beneficial during a time when emotions can be intense and overwhelming.
4. Increased Responsibility
The work promotes personal responsibility and accountability for one's actions and choices. This empowers young individuals to take charge of their lives and decisions.
5. Support for Transitions
Adolescence involves numerous transitions, and therapy can provide a supportive environment to navigate these changes. It can help in dealing with issues related to identity, peer pressure, academic stress, and familial relationships.
6. Creativity and Exploration
The approach often includes creative and experiential techniques like experiments, artwork, and mindfulness exercises, which can resonate well with young people who might find it challenging to express themselves.
7. Problem-Solving Skills
We develop problem-solving skills and encourage finding solutions in the 'here and now'. This can be highly practical for young people facing various challenges in their lives.
