Personal therapy and counselling.
We have the ability to live a happy life and gain the success we deserve. However, sometimes we are stuck with issues that stop us from being the person we want to be. Such issues as anxiety, anger and "everyday" depression or sadness may be at times overwhelming. Therapy involves a commitment to a longer process of healing while counselling is a brief form of therapy. In our sessions you will be able to:
* Enhance your self esteem
* Communicate more effectively
* Enrich relationships
* Relieve stress
* Make your marriage more interesting
* Identify addictive behaviours
* Change unwanted behaviours
* Take control of your life
Gestalt Therapy experience
Gestalt Therapy is about helping you to understand your purpose in life.
Gestalt therapy was originated about fifty years ago by Frederick 'Fritz' Perls (1893-1970) in collaboration with Paul Goodman and Dr. Hefferline. Perls was born in Berlin and educated in medicine and psychoanalysis. But he later became interested in ideas beyond Freud, partly due to his wife, Laura Posner, a psychologist who had contact with the early Gestalt school of experimental psychology. The full description of this therapy is available (Interview with Yaro Starak)
In a gestalt session, the client begins with a dream, an art object, or simply a memory. Through talking to the people, or even the elements of the art object or dream, the client begins to recognize the buried emotions that come to the surface. The emotions reside within the consciousness of the client. Thus, gestalt teaches that they may be resolved within the individual. In fact, parts of the dream are projections of the dreamer. The focus of therapy is to play out the parts to reintegrate them and the emotions they represent
Gestalt therapy experience, then, is the complex personal experience of a human being as an art form. You making art forms, being involved in the forms you are creating as events, observing what you do, and hopefully perceiving through your work not only yourself as you are now, but also alternate ways that are available to you for creating yourself as you would like to be. ( book Risking Being Alive).
Group Programme:
What is group therapy?
In group therapy, five to ten people meet face-to-face with one or more trained group therapists and talk about what is troubling them. Members also give feedback to each other by expressing their own feelings about what someone says or does. This interaction gives group members an opportunity to try out new ways of behaving and to learn more about the way they interact with others. What makes the situation unique is that it is a closed and safe system. The content of the group sessions is confidential; what members talk about or disclose is not discussed outside the group.
The first few sessions of a group usually focus on the establishment of trust. During this time, members work to establish a level of trust that allows them to talk personally and honestly. Group trust is achieved when all members make a commitment to the group. ( see book on Working With Groups)
Other groups are used to train leaders and developing group process skills.
